Yes, but the research letter would suggest they are not original, or that the book was wrong. I have a separate expedition underway to obtain the original information from Von Lengerke & Detmold through Griffin & Howe to see if it was inventoried by them with the 28" barrels when it was received from Parker. Apparently that is a service they offer. Per research letter, they should be 26"....
Anyways, I was only really using the gun as a discussion prop. I was after some general knowledge as to if its possible that Parkers were made without a terminating line, and it seems the answer is yes per Gary. Dean also provided information I was unaware of. Debating if the terminating line is telling or not on this specific gun isn't worth much to me honestly since the letter already doesn't match its a total crapshoot. Probably I worded my post poorly.
