30" , 32" and 34" barrels

[Researcher]

The Parker Story shows quite a few 32-inch 28-gauge guns --

VH-/VHE-Grade 15
PH-/PHE-Grade 1 Twist
GH-/GHE-Grade 3 Damascus, 1 Steel
DH-/DHE-Grade 14 Titanic
CH-/CHE-Grade 2 Bernard, 1 Acme
BH-/BHE-Grade 4 Acme
AH-/AHE-Grade 5 Acme
AAH-/AAHE-Grade 1
A 1 Special-Grade 3

The one 32-inch DHE-Grade 28-gauge I'd like to see would be 156717 that the West Coast Guru of the small-bores, Edwin Hedderly, Editor of Western Field magazine got along with a similar 20-gauge for a years worth of 1/2 page ads in his magazine!! Both guns were ordered with no safety, a Silvers pad, 15 1/2 inch length-of-pull, Lyman sights, and "Wildfowl" & "Mfg. Exp. for E.L. Hedderly" engrave on the barrels.

With both Arthur DuBray and Edwin Hedderly talking up long barrel small-bores, Parker Bros. sold quite a few. They are a lot more common than 32-inch barrel 20-gauge Ansley H. Fox guns. I remember about a decade ago there were six 32-inch 20-gauge Parker Bros. doubles, a Crown Grade L.C. Smith and a No. 5E NID at the winter Las Vegas show, but not a single 32-inch 20-gauge Fox.

Austin Hogan shared a story with me about a 34" DH 28 gauge he saw many years ago for sale at Chadicks.

I bid several years ago on a 34" DHE 20 gauge but sadly did not get the gun.

There's a DHE 20 gauge in my county that's got 32 or 34 inch barrels . I had it in my hands about 20 years ago and wasn't interested at the time

One of the guys my dad worked with in Warrenton about 30 years ago had a very nice 20 gauge I forget the grade that had 32 or 34 inch pipes , he ended up selling it to Chadick . This guy at the time had a very nice accumulation of Parkers as a matter of fact I bought the first two 16 Parker's I ever owned from him . One was a Trogan and the other was a VH 30" English stock .
