Dean, This gun is the only grade 3 with 28" laminated barrels and I believe the only grade 3 with laminated barrels made, According to my calculations a total of only 12 lifters were made in 20 gauge in all grades. According to an article in the Parker Pages 2010 Austin Hogan list 11- 20 gauge lifters archived prior to the introduction of the top lever. Approximately 55 top lever guns were produced in 20 gauge in all grades. So you see the 20 gauge lifter is a very rare gun in any grade. According to my figures They are as follows 1-A grade, 1- grade 4, 1-grade 3, 4- grade 2, 5-grade O. As with anything Parker you never know what will turn up and a lot of records are missing, but still the parker 20 gauge lifter is among the rarest Parkers made, Gary
