Dean, what a find! I look forward to a photo with some prairie roosters posing with it next Fall.

Wow, congrats on that beauty Dean. Leatherman makes a dandy strap on comb riser if that drop causes you any grief. It will not hurt the finish and is easy on and off. Good luck with that very nice Parker.

Those original dimensions are perfect for me.

Beautiful gun!
What a rare and amazing find, at a gun show no less. That’s a Parker that should have been auctioned to realize it’s true potential. You’re a lucky man to find that one Dean!

One of the most frustrating things as a collector is owning a two barrel set with one set missing. My 8 gauge has a fluid steel 10 gauge set out there somewhere

What's frustrating to me is not finding an all original beautiful A grade hammer gun at a local gun show. Congratulations! What a masterpiece.

I like the X's engraved on the forward half of the lock plate. Havent seen that before on such an early gun. Sort of presages the much later art deco engraving.
