My old 2-frame Quality 2 hammerless of 1889 vintage is marked E on the watertable --



but is, and letters as, a over nine pound 12-gauge. At some point it was back to Meriden and was fitted with a set of 32-inch, 3-inch chambered, 20-gauge Vulcan Steel barrels. It was also fitted with the 1910 bolt and bolt-plate.



The barrel address on the Vulcan Steel barrels is CT., U.S.A. but they don't have the Parker Bros. Overload Proved stamps, so that kind of brackets when they were done. The only available records are for the original gun in 1889. Both forearms are engraved in the GH-Grade style, and were checkered in the GH-Grade pattern.

My apologies to regulars probably getting tired of hearing about this gun. A couple of years ago I retired my built up comb and had Craig Libhart restock it for me with a Monte Carlo so we didn't have to bend any tangs etc. to get high dimensions.
