Do you gentlemen have any photos of those 20s that you could post? Probably the only way I'd get to see one.

Charlie, I have owned two 32" Parker 20s and a set of barrels for another. Sadly, I sold a 32" #2 frame 20 years ago and can't locate it. It is a VH serial number 153,333 and I want to buy it back.

True story. Last week I show up at our weekly Weds. sporting clays outing at a little club up in PA. with a 32" 20 ga. Sterlingworth. A nice gent walks over on the 2nd or 3rd. station and looks in my push cart and asks what I'm shooting. When I tell him and offer the gun for inspection he proclaims that there were no 32" 20 ga. Sterlingworths made and that they were probably Belgian barrels. I was in really good mood that day so I told him I did'nt know that. Thanks for telling me I guess I overpaid. He walked away thinking he just educated me. You just can't fix stupid. BTW; I ended up with high score out of 9 shooters besting the Benelli boys. Pretty good for Belgian barrels huh?

I would come to Drake's for a couple of days if the Southern wasn't being held at the same time. Of course, the shooters should provide a gun show with guns for sale.

Yep, if Drake is open I'll be there. As a sidebar; if anyone else would like to make a long weekend of it shooting at Drake and other venues don't let this stupid virus crap stop you.

Daryl, you maintained good composure there.
I went to a gun show this weekend, where a dealer had a Remington hammer 12 for sale with a big sign that said "this is not Damascus". Well, it sure as hell had a nice Damascus pattern, not a bad gun. When I told him it was Damascus he became quite incensed and told me to look down the bores and I wouldn't see any Damascus pattern there. I laughed at him when he told me that the Damascus pattern was only on the outside. I had to walk away.
