Default The Big Dog
This gun was part of the late Jim Parkers collection, I bought it before he passed and was able to talk about the gun with him, I have the info written down, but as with many things I can't seem to find it, He had some guy in N.C. do the restoration as I recall. It is a P grade with 34" barrels on a 6 frame, and of course it is an 8 gauge, The shells in the photos in the chambers are Kirkwood hand loaded, five photos, Gary
