My very first (or perhaps second) collector gun I acquired when I was about eight years old. A friend of my Dad who ran an AMOCO service station had taken a Parker 10 gauge hammergun in trade for some gas. I had a H&R 16 gauge single barrel that my Dad had given me and we traded even. I even got a box of Super-X 10 gauge #4's to go with it. I have never shot it but I plan to get it re-stocked & shoot it with RST loads. It has Damascus barrels and is in very fine condition other than the wood which is a homemade job.
I have been fortunate enough to acquire a ten gauge Parker hammergun SN 5473 in "like new" condition that was featured in a DGJ article, two eight gauge hammerguns: a James Beattie and a Joseph Braddell, and a four gauge hammergun by Edward M. Reilly in it's original trunk case. I really like the big bore guns.
Best Regards, George
