Craig, stop and think for a minute. The 8 was outlawed in 1918, for ducks. That does not mean it was not used long after that, for ducks. Remembering the outlawing of lead shot for ducks, I can assure you that it was used many years after that, and may even continue to be, for ducks. Parker had no responsibility for how the guns were used, legal or illegal.

Heck the PH 8 I have according to the Parker letter wasn’t even ordered for waterfowl ! A lumber company in the panhandle of FL ordered it for buckshot . I “assume” to shoot gators and possibly black bear as again i “assume” that was before the black bear subspecies there was endangered .
