Like Craig Larter, I own a Parker once owned by the famous shooter, waterfowler, and Peters Cartridge Company representative, T.H. Keller. It is the only hammerless 8 gauge Parker made with 30" barrels. It is a DH Grade and a good representation of Keller's reputation as a serious waterfowler. Check out Craig's DGJ article on Keller's 12 gauge an issue or two ago.

I have the C Grade 33" Bernard Steel #4 frame hammer gun made for Parker company shooter W.S. Perry. Unfortunately, shortly after this gun was made, Parker wanted to put the new hammerless guns into the hands of company shooters, and the old ten gauge C Grade never much made it out of the house. Parker built Mr. Perry a hammerless 10 gauge DH Grade as soon as they were available in 1889.
