B Grade 8 GA

[charlie cleveland]

some people have all the luck getting to see all them 8 ga s im jelous... bill reckon how much that petite 8 ga weighs...

[Bill Murphy]

It's a ten plus pounder, the lightest Parker eight I've ever seen or weighed. The barrels are only marked 6-9, a pound and a half lighter than some Parker eights I own or have inspected. Such a quail gun.

thats the lightest 8 ga i ve ever heard of bill...should have asked what is the frame size of this petite 8 ga...charlie

[Bill Murphy]

It's a standard #6 frame gun. The barrels are struck a bit more than normal eight gauge Parker barrels.

Gentlemen,

I wasn't prepared for studio photography at the Eastern Panhandle SxS Shoot but when Jonathan Engle's Great-Great Grandfather's B Grade 8 Gauge appeared I took a couple snapshots. I hope you like them.

You got that right Rich. To me it was better than the Czar's gun. Great photos Mark, thanks.

There is only one 34" hammer B Grade eight. There are two Czar's guns. The Engle eight is twice as rare as the Czar's gun and much prettier. I wonder who owns the Seward Webb guns today? It is my understanding that Larry Baer owned the eight at one time but sold it.
