[Grantham Forester]

In my copy of the Peter Johnson book, I thought he mentioned that Mr. Hayes reduced the number of action parts from 18 to 4, but I am not 100% sure. What is the DGJ and where can I find a 2013 copy to read your article. From your replies I take it that you are a gunsmith that knows Parkers and other fine double shotguns as well. Many thanks for the straightforward answer sans the comments about other more personal matters of a more fiscal nature. I am planning to buy the DHE at his set price, and keep the Trojan. So, those two Parkers, plus the VHE 12 made in aprox 1929 my father-in-law gave me, have me started on a "Possible Parker Path To Perdition" I am getting the collecting "bug", and the insight and advice to a novice here is priceless.
