Seems to be.

I wonder what the chokes were on the first set of barrels. Not being mentioned they were likely the standard MOD/FULL or FULL/FULL and being a great area for duck shooting in the marshes of Lake Eire I wouldn't be surprised at all if they were F/F.

Harvey H. Brown, ore-shipping magnate of Cleveland, was president of the Pte. Mouilee Shooting Club for many years, which we read about in Jim & Barbara Marsh's book and advertised in the DGJ.

I have written an article with illustrations about one of H.H. Brown's Parkers, a Grade-6 hammer gun, which I will submit for publication in Parker Pages now that DGJ will no longer be published.

Do I understand the barrels are both the original lengths as stated in the letter? Two barrel sets I have seen often have one set that has been cut. Looks like the 28" set was ordered to be open for upland birds and the 30" set choked for waterfowl. A great combination!
