As I mentioned in an earlier post, the barrels of this gun are 32 3/16". How common was it for barrels to be longer than advertised?

Uncommon but not unheard of.

I have only owned two damascus parkers and each was slightly longer than listed in their corresponding letters.
Each gun was listed as 32" but each were 1/8 to 3/16 longer. Just my very limited experience. Hope this helps. John PS Thank you and to your friend thank you for sharing with us. |

I've coveted Parkers for about 40 of my 50 years on this earth . And in that time I've cherished all the gauges . But for some reason in the last few years I've found myslef drawn to the 8's and 10's quite a bit more .

Patrick,
Thanks! I'll try to blow up that area from the original photo and post it tonight. Mark

I've returned the gun to its rightful owner - don't want that rattling around in my car for too long. I've asked him to take a look. I've blown up the picture and don't see anything. Perhaps I'm not looking in the right place. Sounds like an old country song - "Looking for love in all the wrong places"

Patrick,
You are correct! There is definately a "H G" in the center of this cropped photo. Many thanks, Mark
