Craig, I had asked this a while back. Dave Noreen responded back then:
The Quality 2 Damascus barrel hammerless 20-gauge numbers in The Parker Story are all a misprint. You need the Errata Sheet Version 3, 6/6/01. The corrected numbers are 1 24-inch, 145 26-inch, 3 27-inch, 244 28-inch, 49 30-inch, 1 31-inch and 3 32-inch.
Errata Sheet Version 3, 6/6/01 gives us
"Page 279, Table at lower left -- "GRADE 2 HAMMERLESS GUNS WITH DAMASCUS STEEL BARRELS" -- The column with statistics for the 20 gauge is incorrect. A total of 446 hammerless doubles of 20-gauge were made with barrel lengths as follows: (length/count) - (32/3), (31/1), (30/49), (28/244), (26/145), (24/1). These changes will effect the totals in various summary tables."
