Wow , I have always wondered if Parkers built a 8 gauge higher than a D grade as thats the highest grade 8 gauges I have seen offered in the catalogs .

Kevin, our old friend Norman Strebe, who had the gun store in District Heights, had a steel barrel CH grade 8. I wonder if it's the same gun or maybe it went to New Jersey? Could there be two, or maybe three steel barrel CH 8s? Who knew there were so many DH grade steel 8s, and so many for sale at one time? Does anyone have seventy grand to spare?

Two with Acme barrels - one 34” the other 36”

Of course, there could be more if we extrapolate for missing books.

If by Jersey you mean the guy that had the 7 or 8 Smith 8’s I’ve been hearing a couple rumors that stuff may surface soon .
