Yes they were 12 gauge guns. Trap configured Parker shotgun in smaller gauges are very rare. To add to the information you were requesting, Capt. Grier, together with Walter Beaver, were the high average doubles shooters in 1937 with a .9300 average. Now I realize I not only own the high volume doubles shooter's gun from PA in 1937, Jim Stinson's Ulrich engraved Pigeon Grade Model 12, I also own the high national average doubles gun for 1937, Captain Grier's Model 21. I don't write a lot of checks, but I keep my nose to the ground and talk to a lot of people. Remember that pump guns were very popular for doubles events. Rudy Etchen proved that. I don't own Rudy's gun yet, but I'm working on it.
