Thanks to those who further Parker shotgun collecting and use by posting photos of their guns. We've seen some wonderful G's in both fluid steel and damascus. For the new person, Parker made hammerless damascus guns from 1888 to 1927, and the later ones are stamped Overload Proved, although Parker proofed damascus and fluid steel guns the same throughout production. Drops ranged from 4" to the more standard 2 1/2 to 2 3/4", so its easy to look for another that suits you. If you find one that has been butchered by a chopped stock, cut barrels, torch job "case colors" or other abuse and that doesn't suit you, you can find another.
