If Simmons is doing it then it should be good work. I'll be interested to see how all this plays out.

Kurt,

I have no idea, but suspect that the colors were redone when the barrels were monoblocked to 20 gauge. I purchased the gun from an old trap shooter who had retired to Florida. Fritz shot with hammer guns and had a few Parkers for sale in the Double Gun Journal and that is how I came by it. I had no idea it was not an honest 20 gauge until the "Book" came out and I found it to have started life as a 16 gauge. After closer inspction I could tell where the barrels had been cut. The stock had been cut at the wrist to give it "modern" dimentions and it never held after several local attempts so I had it restocked. Another one of my ten footers (looks good from ten feet). I won at the Southern with it a few years ago, but suspect I was the only one shooting in that event with a 20 gauge hammer gun.

Harry
