CH two barrel set

[Daniel Leader]

Awesome, did you get a letter? When was yours made and what are the barrel lengths?

[John Truitt]

I don't want to distract from your thread. You have a very interesting gun and it deserves all the attention you and her can get.

Yes I did get a letter/ or it was sent to me when I purchased the gun. Well worth the money.

Mine #72575 is a two barrel set grade three fish tail top lever ten gauge made on a #2 frame. Both sets of barrels were ordered 28". One set lighter in weight than the other. the gun was ordered by Mr Edward Burton of Mass.
His initals are in the stock oval and the shield at the top of the grip.
She has a matching cousin ordered the same way but later on by Mr Burton. This twin is shown many times in the Parker Story and you can see EB engrave in the grip shield as is in mine.

Sir you have a very desirable gun and I hate that you have to part with her but wish you all the luck in finding her a good home and a good deal for you as well. There are a lot of great people on this forum and they will help guide you in the right direction.

All my best,

John

Thank you John, I just ordered a letter today, can't wait for the results. Sounds like you have a wonderful piece also. Thanks again, Dan

I think it would be very interesting to see how close Parker Bros was able to get these two sets of barrels with an 8" length variation to balance on the same frame. They would have to be very creative with taper and wall thickness to even get them close to the same balance point.

The shorter barrels' unstruck weight was 4, 4 and the weight of the longer barrels was 5, 7...

But I'll bet a dollar that they did.
