Destry: The only Parker that I'm aware of in the sale, as Bill Murphy posted, is a D3 12 gauge hammergun with 30 inch barrels & capped pistil grip that is mentioned in The Parker Story as a Frank Butler gun.

Best Regards, George

I only lightly read the thread, there was mention of a hammer gun and a trunk full of stuff from the family so I was thinking this was the 16 gauge.

Bill: Your gun stands on it's own merit, it doesn't need to be an Annie Oakley piece to be great.

Destry, this is not the little 16 gauge. I think the 16 will be buried deep for a few more years. Thanks for the compliment about my gun. I have not worked very hard on its provenance, but may in the future. I will display it at the Southern with no comment about its possible previous ownership. I will miss seeing you there.
