Appreciate all the forensic work here. It is fortunate we have a good bit of information to surmise all the variables. The empirical evidence is that the gun was ordered with 12 gauge, Laminated barrels. Therefore it is not a mistake, but rather a function of the order of the 2 barrels being documented in the order. Parker very well could have documented it as a 12 gauge with an extra set of 10 gauge barrels. Maybe they always list the higher gauge first.

I find it a bit humorous that the original order book details special instruction details to the level of "finest can get". Yet.....the later order book just says "slap a new frame and stock on it". I suspect there were more instructions to Parker as to what the customer wanted besides what Chuck is able to see in the subsequent order. Just a curiosity.

I believe the scenario Dean Romig has suggested as very plausible. Maybe I should check to see if there is a note in the leather case.............

Dean,
please forgive me if I made you post them twice, but that fine Parker is well worth it.

That is just absolutely beautiful!!

Only my humble opinion, but these hammer guns, all of them but more specifically the under lifters are the most beautiful examples the fine men in Meriden produced!

Oh yeah, looks like I'm second in line now to Dean, but please don't forget me

Beautiful gun Mr. Weber. I will gladly assume the position of a very sincere 3rd in line.
