Bill, I wasn’t aware of a 24 gauge Parker.
I am aware on one 18 gauge having been made on a 16 gauge frame (0-frame) and was used extensively at a Skeet school I believe in Maryland or Delaware (Olin ?).
The gun was offered to me at something like $20k and it came with 1 box of 18 gauge shells made exclusively for this gun. One of the 18 gauge shells was missing and the space in the box was filled with a 20 gauge shell.
I know you know of this Parker Bill.
BTW, I didn’t buy it…
