I'll work on Augie
The James W. Byrnes Belting & Hose Co. was in St. Louis, and "Col. James Byrnes" was active in Democratic (we're talkin' Mo.  ) politics in the 1920s.

Was this a PGCA member or somebody lurking here who was lying to you?
The gun is right as rain and something to be proud of. I hope we have higher standards with PGCA members. |

I read about it here on the forum. I had to search around for it and found it in the "Parker PH assessment" thread.

Very nice gun Wally.
Robin you are correct. I have posted pics of this 20 gage that also letters with sling swivels. The first pic is shown on page one from the original posting. The screw that attaches the swivel would normally be screwed in completly and not visable from this angle. Last edited by Larry Frey; 08-17-2010 at 07:26 PM.. Reason: Added info. |

Larry, can you post a picture of the letter? Apparently, early factory swivel guns have the European type mounting and swivel on the front, but, oddly, the receptacle for hooks on the rear. My DHE with swivels, which look factory to me but are too late for an order book entry, have European style swivels front and back. I can't figure out why the other two don't have either hook receptacles or European swivels on both ends.

Bill,
I will scan and post the letter tomorrow at work. As for the swivels themselves I always thought the rear mount was just missing the swivel. I will try to attach the front swivel to the rear mount and let you know tomorrow if it fits. |

Here is a pic of a swivel on one of the barrels. The pic is just a detail of a larger pic and as such, not of the greatest quality.
Also, as far as I know,the person who (falsely) claimed to have a letter on my gun is listed as a 'forum member" but he may be a PGCA member. I am not trying to start anything with him, so I will not name names. I just wanted to set the record straight on this wonderful piece of Parker history. I am proud to be a member of this august group and have had the opportunity to meet a few of you at shows and even hunted once with Destry and his dad ( Fine gentlemen, btw). I really appreciate the kind words about this gun and the help you have given me in researching the original owner. I am in this for the history , beautiful guns, and the friends I have been able to make along the way.  Here is the butt
