As rick said, an original 15" lop Parker gun would be hard to find. Your best bet would be to go with an original 14-1/4" lop gun and then put a pad on it in place of the dhbp. Which would land you in the 15" area.

Parker reproduction guns are often long in LOP and a 15" gun would not be too difficult to find. They are often high in the comb too.

At 6"2" also I just put slip on leather pads on my guns for extra length. Yours is easily fixed with a period one inch pad making 14 5/8" and with a slip on leather pad which also protects the gun you have your 15 inches length of pull.

Lou,
Long LOP guns although uncommon can be found. My AAH from 1902 letters with a 15" lop and I once owned a DHE 20 gage from 1911 which also lettered at 15". I'm tall also and seek out target guns with longer lop. I like 14 3/4" for clay targets but find that for hunting where quick shots are required and sometimes heavy clothing is involved 14 1/4"- 14 1/2" is just about right.
