As Bruce seems to constantly reminds us all, his buddy Charlie found one in a chicken coop. I guess that's where I'd start......

Dean had asked me to re-tell the story on it. If the story bothers you or my re-telling of the story is offensive to you let me know, or report it to John Dunkle and he can delete the posts and all the photos. In fact, I'll report the post to John myself, and urge him that it he finds it offensive, to just delete that and all the photos.

But Destry, you have the facts wrong again. Neither Charlie nor me found it in a chicken coop. The gun had been in a chicken coop for many years, the owner brought it in to sell to a third friend, that person acquired it, called me and from there it passed to Charlie. I'm always pleased to help out friends and I knew Charlie would be thrilled with this great little piece of Parker history.

Bruce, I have been ogling the photos of your 'Chicken coop' gun! I also consulted my copy of TPS and learned that very few hammer 20s were made. I wonder how many survived in any kind of restorable/usable condition.
