I just made this post on the shotgunworld thread from 2006, titled "Who invented the 28 gauge?" which is pretty interesting reading. "Recent research shows that the first order for a Parker 28 gauge was placed on February 6, 1900. The order was for five 28 gauges for Shoverling, Daly, and Gales in New York. I still think the H&R exposed hammer double 28 gauge probably predates the Parker 28 gauge." The provided link for that thread seems to have been skewed by my post, but it is available in the "Shotguns, General" subforum on shotgunworld.com.
