With the requested changes to 91964 and new matching 30" barrels for both guns this fellow had a pretty nice matched pair of long barreled small bore Parkers.

I'm not sure how I worded my comment, but what I meant was that there were only two Grade 4 20gauge guns in the
91000-91999 range. We now know where 91964 is, but the other was 91584, and according to the SN&ID book, it was 28". Interestingly, the next gun, 91585, was a 27" CH, 16gauge; very likely also bought by Mr. DePauw. Clearly, the man knew exactly what he wanted, and nothing else would suffice. Where did you find the information indicating 91584 was 29", and not 28"?
I also wonder if 91584 (and maybe 91585) were similarly engraved?
I have to say, irrespective of your gun's present condition, it may be the most unusual and exciting Parker I have seen in quite some time. I'm just hoping Deb will show it to us next week.
I think it's ironic that with a 13 5/8" LOP, you may never get it away from her, because you won't be able to shoot it anyway.
