The Brown gun was probably built for a Parker pro shooter as the Wheal gun was. The deep discount is a clue. Wheal also was shooting a high grade ten gauge top lever gun in the ten gauge era. Wheal's ten gauge is consecutively numbered to Parker pro William Perry's C grade Bernard gun. Wheal's pigeon gun was a Grade 5 and both Perry's and Wheal's gun had 33" barrels. Perry's C Grade was also pictured in Muderlak's book. Dean, do you own Brown's gun? Oddly, the Perry gun was built just before the advent of the hammerless Parker. Parker Brothers built Perry a hammerless gun, wanted him to shoot it, and the C grade top lever gun never got used and is in mint condition today. Wheal also owned a 16 gauge graded Parker which hit the market not too many years ago. One of our members owned it until recently.
