I had the fortune of arranging a meeting with Arch’s grandson many years ago at the Summer Place in McClellanville, SC and he let me view and handle the Parker. It’s a VH 12 ga. with 30 inch barrels. The notches were indeed for buck deer taken. Ill check my notes when I get home as to the number of notches. The gun was loose but not bad. I cannot tell you the feeling of awe I got shouldering that Parker. A true piece of American history.
