2 barrel set

[Bruce Day]

Greene's Guns owner Chuck Brunner is a good PGCA member, its a great price and bargain for a two barreled set gun with interesting history. Don't expect the 16ga barrels to be light.

It's a bit pricey, but seems to be a nice gun. I would want to see the PGCA letter on this gun to see if the second set of barrels can be proven original. Hundreds of guns were ordered by Iver Johnson Sporting Goods. Apparently, there is something that sets this gun aside from those hundreds. Recently I read something that suggests that Iver Johnson Sporting Goods and Iver Johnson guns are two different entities. I do not know whether that is true or not. Yes, this is a big #2 frame gun, probably well over seven pounds with the 16 gauge barrels. Chuck is a nice guy, lives right across the river from me, and will probably cut you some slack if you really like the gun.

I think it's an interesting gun at a fair price, no harm in giving him a call!

As many readers here will attest, it is extremely rare for a customer of Parker Brothers to request that a set of Damascus barrels be made to be installed on a gun originally made with fluid steel barrels. In fifty years of collecting and researching Parkers, this is the first. However, don't let my friend Chuck charge you retail. Go for the discount.

Bill, do you mean in the subject of this thread: a customer ordering two barrel sets - one fluid steel and ordering a second set with Damascus like the one offered by Green's Gun's example is rare?

Or in all cases in general this is rare occurrence: A customer requests Damascus barrels in the place of the fluid steel barrels that it was originally cataloged for ? One gun, one barrel set.
