Speaking of the "Gold Hearts Gun"

[John Truitt]

Mr. Murphy,
What is the unstruck weigth stamped on the 34" barrels? (if you dont mind sharing/ me asking)

[Bill Murphy]

The 34" Parker Special Steel barrels are marked 4-9. The 30" Damascus barrels are marked 4-7. The gun was built for either forend to fit on either set of barrels, which helps in changing the balance at will. John, I wish I had thought to have you shoot a round of 5 stand with the 34" barrels.

Sometimes people ask me why I say "Never say never if you are talking about a Parker and if they did this or that" Bill's Parker answers all of those questions.....

[Bill Murphy]

I am a little late mentioning that our friend, Daryl Middlebrook, negotiated the sale of this gun to me. Without his assistance, this gun would probably be a set of 34" PSS barrels installed on another gun with the rest of the gun parted out and salvaged for the little bit of gold.
