Parker 20's with 2 7/8" chambers were intended for the three-inch shell of the day.

It sounds like this one was previously unknown. Very cool

Well it has been about 5 months, how about an update on this little Parker? Have you decided what you are going to do with it (other than shoot mallards)?

I don't have anything significant to report. I shot the gun a few times this summer. I did not hunt it yet.
After the hunting season I will get with Brian. Updates to follow.

There is no doubt in my mind Mark will own more than 2 of the 8 eventually. He has great nose for Parkers.

Update -
OK - after much evaluation, consultation, and deliberation I have made the move. I met with Brain again yesterday and turned the J.N.YOUNG #159075 gun over to him for the restock.
He had a fine selection of wood and together zeroed in on a 60+ year old walnut piece that most closely resembled the character of the J. A. HANNAH #163962 gun (2nd pic). Many more ornate pieces were available, but I am confident we made the best choice for this gun.
The missing engraving and shield will be brought back - The metal will remain in its current condition as some original color is present and much of the engraving is still sharp.
I already look forward to the 2021 duck season. I expect Mr. Young will be smiling down, as His DHE 20/32" gets back into the marsh and underneath some feathers
More to follow.........

I applaud your decision to move forward! Can't wait to see the finished results as I know Brian will do a heck of a job!
