I had a windfall recently to where I could have bought one of the less pricey "English best" guns, but decided I would rather have Parkers. Something about them being American made.

My first double was a W.W. Greener I still have . Then I got hung up on Parker's and Fox guns .
Now I'm kinda open to Parker's , Fox's , english guns , some of the german guns , Remington or Krieghoff 32's and Browning Superposed .

Heck I have and old Ithaca 10 gauge we've owned for about 35 years and never fired . This one has fluid steel barrels and has been redone when my pop first bought it . Think this week it'll get a go on the trap range for fun !

A Parker 8 gauge and 10 gauge are high on my want list . However I'd like both to be hammerless .

Incidently with Parker 8's which are more rare ? Exposed hammer guns or hammerless ?

Craig the information you seek is in The Parker Story, but it is not compiled in one paragraph. You have to either add up all the eights in the Grades section or separate the hammer from the hammerless in the list of eights in the Appendix.
