Perhaps My Brother Pete's 20 Hammer gun.....
would qualify or are you speaking of higher grade guns only? His Parker is (now this is from memory) a plain Parker with twist barrels and little engraving 28" length Serial is I can't remember 1880's I think. The beauty of the gun is the milled out water table and its trim lines... The gun is just a wallhanger because of hard use and sanding of the stock wood.. at one time I thought it might be worth restoring. My Dad had it in his collection for the longest time. I think it was one of the guns he got from the Flood estate (as in Floodlight) at Woodside, California. while doing some work there. As a kid I could handle it with permission and it was not too big for me shoulder. Compared to the 12 gauge 32" Hammer it was a flyweight! Have fun everyone! Best,Paul
