Eight bore Parkers

[Bill Zachow]

Earlier in my Parkeritis career, I kept a running track of all 8 gauges I encountered--around 40 guns or about 10 percent of total production. A pretty large statistical sample. These 8s were built on 5, 6, and 7 frames. All the hammerless guns were on 6 frames as were most of the hammer guns. Only a few 7 frames. Only saw one lifter 8 and it was on a 5 frame.

I never saw a top lever eight that wasn't a #7 frame. Bill Z., can you post a picture of one of the #6 frame top lever guns? Thanks.
