Puglisi's, our local emporium, has a ton of Parkers, including quite a few 8 bores. That is quite the difference in size from your 20!

Bill; Please send a discription of that gun to Josh; I think the latest exposed hammer we have is in the 159000 serial range.

Best, Austin

This "last graded hammer gun", "last 16 gauge hammer gun" and "last production hammer gun" was on display at the PGCA annual meeting when we had the 16 gauge theme display. This was 2008 or 2009. #172,662 is a very nice straight grip gun originally built with 27" Damascus barrels. I'm sure Josh will monitor this thread.

Hi Guys,

I'll get the number posted. Thanks for sharing and bringing the 16ga gun that slipped past our radar in 2008 to our attention!

Keep 'em comin'.....

Wayne,
Now that Austin has jogged my memory, I remember looking at your wonderful 20 ga in Las Vegas several years ago.

Thanks so much Wayne really nice. What is the barrel lenght on the 8? I don't know I think I lean toward the 8. Theres something about big things that come in pairs

Wayne what year was the C 20 produced? I'm curious to the Titanic fluid steel barrels being original to the gun or did it originally have damascuss (those are unsafe you know

) which were replaced by the factory.

Either way a wonderfull pair of Parkers. The little 20 hammer gun is only the second 20 I have seen pictures of.

Thanks Calvin. The length of the 8 gauge barrels is 34". I have always yearned for an 8 and watching the movie Appalossa finally put me over the edge. A letter on the gun should be in my mail box any day.

Richard. The 20 gauge was manufactured in 1905. It came from the factory with Titanic steel barrels.

Thank you Dean. I won't be attending the Banquet in September but will be in Vegas this January. Austin and Jeff are correct. I brought the 20 gauge to Vegas ten years ago when the PGCA had a booth. Let me know if you plan on attending.
