Sequel: Should I Keep It or Not?

[Mills]

I let a 10 gauge hammerless Colt go right before Christmas and it still hurts to think about it. Christmas is a trying financial time around here though.

I am negotiating on a Parker Repro 20 right now, so we will see how that goes. It belonged to my Great Uncle, so it has sentimental value as well

[Autumn Daze]

Bruce, The "R" stamped in your stock has nothing to do with Remington. As far as I know Remington would not work on any damascus barreled Parkers. Also the blued butt plate on your wonderful hammergun is correct. Thats how it left the factory.

Well that's fantastic news! My assumption was totally wrong. The gun's serial number under the trigger guard's lower extension means that the stock is original to the gun. Wonderful news. And the butt plate being blued is also pleasing news. I wonder what significance the "R" has? Perhaps "Robert".
Thank you!
