Craig, the only decent Parker 28 with a single trigger you'll find for around $5K will be a Parker Reproduction by Winchester.

USC is United States Cartridge Company. Your gun was probably an ammunition test gun. A book was published years ago about the collection of the USC Company. It is hard to find, but may picture this gun. Actually, not too hard a book to find. Amazon lists paperback reprint and 1950 hardcover for sale, both under ten bucks. A PGCA letter may connect the gun to USC when it was first sold. This would be a great collectors find. Tell us where you're located and maybe we can suggest someone to inspect your new gun.

You should look at a PP article I wrote that features USC guns including this one.
Of course you need to join PGCA to get the PP articles. Get going! Bill must have forgotten. |

I have an 0-frame, 26" 16 gauge, Grade-1 Parker hammer gun that was ordered by King Powder Company in Kings Mills, Ohio in 1893 obviously for load testing. There are no King Powder Company markings on mine unfortunately.

George, what issue of PP was your article in? I seem to remember some time back when a bored but industrious member volunteered to create an author and subject index of PP, somewhat like Dan Cote has for Double Gun Journal. For some unexplained reason, the BOD decided that they didn't want any such index. Maybe they have someone working on that as we speak.
