Eureka!!
I just found Austin’s article. It’s no wonder it was so hard to find…. Austin included NO by-line and never mentions anything about gauge or frame size in the title…
“A Tiny, Scarce and Interesting Parker Gun” on pg. 36 of Volume 16, Issue 1.
The first picture in the article illustrates the severe drop.
Great in-depth article… could we have expected less from Austin?
He also included a chart of serial numbers, probably the most complete compilation of twenty-gauge exposed-hammer guns I've seen.
