Upper left corner of forum page you should see a tab for PGCA Home.
There you can see membership tab and information.

There may be records available on your gun and you can check that on the home page also.

Membership comes with the greatest benefit being the folks you may meet that are fellow members and willing to help with your education on the Parker gun.

PS- I think you’d want to check into the Research Letters section of the Home page. It’s good news.

Right Dave, both 2-frame guns with different loads - I wonder why?

It's great to read the "Directions" on that hang tag where it discusses the fact that dropping the hammers is perfectly okay to do but that an ejector gun requires a different procedure to prevent damage to the stop plate..... something we all were discussing here on the forum just yesterday and this morning.

The Trojan of this thread which we know is a 28-inch barrel, 2-frame, weighs 7 pounds 7 ounces by the tag. The other tag I was looking at with the 2 3/4 inch 1 1/4 ounce load is for a 30-inch, 12-gauge, gun that weighs by the tag 7 pounds 10 ounces. I don't know the frame size.

For some reason more pictures of 20-gauge tags have come my way than 12-gauge tags.

Dean - my dad's side of the family is from there, and he grew up there. No one in my immediate family lives there anymore. Wonderful place, though. You?

The high condition DHE is also a 2-frame. One of the first few pictures on page 1 shows the lug with the 2 stamped.

I live in Mass but own property in Maine and spend a great deal of time there.

Nathan, Thank you.... Shoot straight and be well.

The engraving on the DHE is spectacular! The Trojan was clearly his working brush gun! What a great pair to inherit.

Double "Wow"! An incredible, beautiful gun. You guy's are very lucky.
