Eureka!!

I just found Austin’s article. It’s no wonder it was so hard to find…. Austin included NO by-line and never mentions anything about gauge or frame size in the title…

“A Tiny, Scarce and Interesting Parker Gun” on pg. 36 of Volume 16, Issue 1.
The first picture in the article illustrates the severe drop.
Great in-depth article… could we have expected less from Austin?

He also included a chart of serial numbers, probably the most complete compilation of twenty-gauge exposed-hammer guns I've seen.

Reggie this is in the works literally as we speak. You may have noted that there has been a new heading added to the members only section by Mr. Dunkle in preparation of adding the archives. He's on it

I especially like that John, in the introductory page, has very succinctly spelled out the copyright laws that this Parker Pages Digital Archive is legally protected under.

After many emails and phone discussions this is finally coming together!!

Many kudos to John for putting the necessary skills into adding the archives to the website.
