Who got the 34" DHE on GB

[Dean Romig]

And I wonder what those two holes or center punch marks next to the trigger might be....?

Hard to say. If the gun would have been a few hours drive from me I would certainly have gone an taken a look. This is the kind of thing you need to hold in your hands and take barrel measurements etc. If the wood (which certainly seemed like it had good figure) was salvageable and the barrels were good you might have been able to do something without being too deep into the gun. There are guys like Glen Fewless and others who can microweld just about anything. Gournet could have recut the engraving on the floor plate, etc. etc. You might have something for an all in total of 5K. However, if the barrels were trashed and the stock couldn't be made to work and you had to restock it, then your 5K investment heads north of 10K pretty darn fast. Just too much of a risk IMO.

It will turn up at some point I'm sure. Be interesting to see if the ugly neglected Swan with dynamite breeding can be turned into something pretty special.

I hope it does turn back up at some point and I hope they give me a call or PM me when she does turn up.

A PGCA letter may add some interest about this gun. However, I guess we will get no help from our Research Committee, regardless of our promise to "assist with the knowledge of Parker Brothers and the Parker shotgun". Those weren't the exact words, but you get the idea.

Just in case John does not answer his phone or PM that day Brian H is ready, "put me in coach!"
