ONE OF THE LAST
 

DH, One of the last hammer guns and probably the last steel barreled hammer gun to come to light. Gary

Nice towel. Oh yeah, the gun is pretty nice as well.

Thats a great gun Gary. I am amazed at how thin that slot is on the right hammer screw.

Holy Cow, that's a nice one!

one nice hammer gun... charlie

What is the serial number?? Over 200K?

Wow! Gary do you need my address?...:whistle:

this is one good lookin gun..would nt she look pretty with smoke coming out the barrels and a big phez rooster layin on the ground and a emty hull being pulled from the barrels..what a picture this would be... charlie

Bill, The gun is back in the safe, it's number is either 156xxx or 159xxx I have a letter with it and will look it up Tomorrow and let you know. Gary

Very nice Gary... Wow, what a gun! Where the heck do you find these things... I never seem to get lucky like you other guys.

Jeeez... will you look at that cute little squiggle on the barrel bead where it meets the bead on the frame... such a nice touch!

Oh my. To die for! Thanks Gary. Sure glad you learned how to post pics.

You forgot the bottom engraving. What do you call the bottom of a hammer gun "the floor" there's no plate. Should of put it under hammer guns. I hardly ever look at this heading, I bet i'm not alone.
Thanks Gary That is 1 nice HG!

A very nice gun but it would look much nicer net to a yellow towel:rotf:
Gary I'm glad you have figured out the picture business. Nice guns are always a pleasure to look at, thanks.

DH Foorplate, and right trigger
 

Here's a photo of the floor plate of the DH titanic gun, also a strange thing that I have noticed and commented about on this forum, notice the ground out area in the right hammer, even with a fishtail lever with the hammer cocked it will not open, also my BH steel barrel gun is the same way! any body notice this on guns they have? Gary it's a good day for photo's!

That's pretty neat. I've never looked for a cut in the hammer. I guess I'll have to dig out some hammer guns.

I've seen it only once before.

Gary is a guy who really knows where his towel is.

Destry when the local cat house closed the madam gave me several red towels, she said every time I dried off with it think of her! I will say no more

Gary, I have #172,662, the "last hammer gun" except for four ten gauge parts cleanup guns, and three more parts cleanup guns that were sent to Yokohama, Japan in tin lined boxes. These last guns are a mix of Damascus, Bernard, and Twist barrels and sold for $30 each. My G 16 is a nice little 27" 16 gauge that is a long time project getting barrels fitted. If not the last hammer gun out of Parker Brothers, it is the last graded gun and the last smallbore. I have seen the order for the last three guns in the 179,000 range, but I have not seen the order for the four ten gauges, only the Serialization Book entry in the 174,000 range, 174,055-6-7-8. Maybe our researcher could shed some light on those orders.
