I have only owned two damascus parkers and each was slightly longer than listed in their corresponding letters.
Each gun was listed as 32" but each were 1/8 to 3/16 longer. Just my very limited experience. Hope this helps. John PS Thank you and to your friend thank you for sharing with us. |

I've coveted Parkers for about 40 of my 50 years on this earth . And in that time I've cherished all the gauges . But for some reason in the last few years I've found myslef drawn to the 8's and 10's quite a bit more .

![]() Great gun and wonderful pictures. I looked over the floor plate and may have found the engravers initials on the bottom right under the elk. Perhaps you could get a good close up of this area and we could confirm if I am seeing H.G. thanks Patrick |

Patrick,
Thanks! I'll try to blow up that area from the original photo and post it tonight. Mark

I've returned the gun to its rightful owner - don't want that rattling around in my car for too long. I've asked him to take a look. I've blown up the picture and don't see anything. Perhaps I'm not looking in the right place. Sounds like an old country song - "Looking for love in all the wrong places"

Here is what I found. I would suspect these are Henry Gough's initials. Patrick |

Patrick,
You are correct! There is definately a "H G" in the center of this cropped photo. Many thanks, Mark
