Ahem... no, Parker Bros. did not invent the 28 gauge. Parker Bros. however, may have been one of the first American gunmakers to produce a gun in 28 gauge.

Not what I read, but I may be wrong. If I recall correctly my source, which was one of the new Parker gun books, reported that Parker made the first
28. Did they invent the loading and then make the first guns for that gauge? Not sure, but that's how I recall it, but I'm not going to go to the mattresses over the issue.

Parker Bros. was the first American company to offer a 28 gauge double gun.
