Bill, you are probably right. I won't dispute that. That was the first time that I had ever seen an 8 stamped on a barrel lug, and it was the only number stamped there. If I ever run across an 8 gauge gun with a number 6 frame and 36 inch barrels, I'll pick it up and see if it matches what I remember so many years ago. Anyway, I would have traded my whole Parker collection at that time for that gun. It was unmolested and and in beautiful condition. I never got to meet the owner, and he never contacted me to say thanks for recovering his gun.
