A 40" GH 16 with Vulcan Steel barrels was displayed at Shenendoah Guns in Berryville, VA about the time that they were selling the Billy Mitchell collection. I would suspect that the gun belonged to General Mitchell.

Don Kaas I like the pic of Mr. Money. I didn't know there was a 16 gun out there with 40" barrels I have a new wish for Santa this year. Oh MY!!!

A 36 inch 10 gauge is something I'd like to own one day. But I'd settle for that 34 inch one Murphy is holding for me.

Destry, start making plans to outlive me. Linda will be on a selling frenzy if I ever kick the bucket. First to go will be the '79 Low Rider, second will be the 460 powered Country Squire Shooting Brake. Once these are sold, the big guns will be next to go. The one from a couple of weeks ago is one of the best. Good luck with the Cobb gun on the crane shoot. How do you tell what direction those guys are flying? I don't want to hear any excuses about those paper shells. Bring some backup ammo.

Don;
If my memory is right that 40" 16 ga was owned by a Parker Collector here in the Toledo area, Dick Bohls. He ended his life via a gun, hopefully not with a Parker a few years ago. I shot trap with him on occasion and he talked about it one evening at the shooting club remarking the gun was very rare, ie the only one ever produced by Parker. Roger |

 He must have been a tall fellow if he used a 40" gun to do the deed....

Yes Don he was six feet in socks and about my build. He and Kevin had tables next to one another at the Parker meeting/OGCA show in Cleveland. I never saw the gun but you could take Dick's word to the bank.
BTW I miss shooting with him and his conversation. PTG Roger |

Donnie ... I bought a 10ga. Top Lever Hammer Gun with 34" Bernard barrels a few months ago ... I've never seen or heard of another gun with the same configuration and the Parker Story says there was only one such gun made ... Looks like it may be the only known gun of it's kind.
