Lots of C’s had Acme steel barrels. The earliest fluid steel barrel C’s were Titanic, then after Acme barrels began to be used at Parker, they were used early on. In fact Acme steel is the most common C grade fluid steel.
20 ga. : |

I own one of the few listed and lettered D grade 24s, mine is 20ga. I like it and use it a lot on ruffed grouse and quail. Many people believe that a 24 is too short for them, but not for me.
If you are looking at a costly gun I sure would want to make sure the barrels are not just chopped off , or account for it in cost. It would be very difficult to find another set of 28 ga barrels. |

I felt that this was the subject gun that was posted about. I inspected it closely at the southern. It is very nicely done in nearly all respects. The only thing about it that was a red flag to me was the forend tip... It is from a LEFEVER.

Very interesting engraving. Those sure aren't Runge's dogs but the scroll looks like his style.....

I have the only known 24" twenty-eight gauge Damascus barreled Parker of any grade.
It is a DHE made in 1908 by special order. .
