As inspired by this thread, I'll have to look more closely at my 30" vent rib DHE 28 gauge to see if it's original or after market. The book doesn't recognize it in the options section and now I know why that could be, thanks to Dave N.
Always something to learn on this site. |

well, i used to do a lot of trading with steve, and i still buy a few things from august morris; have no idea if that's who i sent it to back in the day, might be. you know how guns shift around between dealers before they find a home. if memory serves, the barrel flats have a marking indicating that there was a second barrel. at that time, your collecting club was a paper newsletter (which i advertised in a few times, for the lost barrels), and no factory letter was available on any parker. times have changed, apparently...i am told that a factory letter of some kind can be obtained, though i may be misinformed. do you ever use the gun?

Kevin made a post back on p. 1 and I suspect he was referring to George McCarty

Gun on right looks like a Smith, on left maybe a Model 21? ![]() I couldn't find any other images of McCarty with a gun

John, for the education of those who do not know about the flat top of the breech face can you show a picture of the breech face without the barrels of both guns side by side?
Dave Suponski wrote a pertinent article that I published in Parker Pages some ten or more years ago but my PC is at the shop right now so I don’t have the ability to look it up in a timely manner. .
