Bought this 10G Hammer at the Fall Southern # 49225, 30 inch 10 lbs. Metal was good, never messed with. Parker letter shows it was shipped to the upper Mississippi, back to the factory twice both times shipped back to the same area. Probably never saw salt water which accounts for the metal condition. Wood was poorly re-finished. Danny Patton stripped the old stain re-cut the checkering and re-oiled. He did a great job.
Think the gun is nice enough to send out for barrel re-finish. Believe it’s a grade 3 correct me if wrong. Been working up 10 G loads from the Short 10 post.
