Nice one

Uncommon but not unheard of.

I have only owned two damascus parkers and each was slightly longer than listed in their corresponding letters.
Each gun was listed as 32" but each were 1/8 to 3/16 longer.
Just my very limited experience. Hope this helps.

I've coveted Parkers for about 40 of my 50 years on this earth . And in that time I've cherished all the gauges . But for some reason in the last few years I've found myslef drawn to the 8's and 10's quite a bit more .
