Gold plated screws and hardware on the long splinter forend as we recently saw on the forum.

Bill, I checked, and there are 32" 28 gauge barrels available! I wonder just how tight the Bros. Parker could bore a 28 gauge.
I, and the elephants (not to mention the engravers), thank you for your order!
