I believe that the John Pratt A-1 Special was there for a while. It was sold to a GM dealer, and then found its way to me, wish I still had it was a two barrel set. Jack Puglisi bought it from me years ago, I think it now resides in Montana, Gary

In his 1974 book 75 Years with the Shotgun, C.T. "Buck" Buckman states he bought the Parker Bros. 28-gauge A1-Special with two sets of barrels for $3000 from W.O. Rowley of Dallas, Texas. After a few years he sold it to Steve Belleci for $4500. Steve apparently passed shortly thereafter, and Buck helped the widow sell the gun to the president of Keiser Electronics Corporation.

Is the A-1 28 gauge the Max Fleischman one? That one has made several appearances, most recently with Steve Barnett

Actually, Larry Baer discusses both. The 28 gauge has had a few stocks. The 20 gauge has suffered worse.

From Larry's book --
234200 11 from Larry Baer 1976 book.jpg 234200 12 from Larry Baer 1976 book.jpg More recently -- 234200 05.jpg 234200 06.png Note the slot in the hinge screw. Still a 32-inch, 28-gauge, P8, has a lot to recommend it!! |
