In case anybody is interested in Parkers and likes to look at pictures of them, here are a couple. Both are 0 frame 20's , one a 32", the other a 24". There may be original 20's longer or shorter but I am not aware of any. There are some unusual features that people may appreciate.
For the folks in the South, the white stuff is snow.

Bruce, Those are a couple of fine looking Ds (?). One a SE quail getter and the other a Cal. fowler? Here's another 20ga, 0 frame, 32"er with its extra 28"ers. A VHE with a whole lot less condition; #190872 with no records available . It has a "thick" comb, early Parker SST and no safety. The 32s are chambered at 3" and choked tight and tight. The 28s are chambered 2&5/8", choked IC and Mod and are nearly 2oz heavier the the 32s. They both balance at the pin. The pull is a little short for me, but other dimensions are right on. The 32s will reach out and touch a long target and the 28s are just the thing for grouse cover. The trigger has required L.D.'s attention, but works when properly maintained.

This VHE straight grip with 1 frame and 32 inch barrels is also 20 ga. and was used by a trap shooter that traveled the west coast and worked for Du Pont Powder and later Western Cartridge Co. The Barrels are geting a little thin but I still use it on occasion. Charles Dockendorf was the original owner. Thanks Thomas

Regulars here are probably getting tired of it, but here is my 2-frame quality 2 32-inch 20-gauge --
Started life a a 2-frame Damascus barrel 12-gauge in 1889, but got a number 2 set of 32-inch 3-inch chambered 20-gauge Vulcan Steel barrels and forearm along with a new bolt and the post-1910 bolt plates, sometime between 1918 and about 1926. It is currantly with Craig Libhart for new wood of more suitable dimensions. Originl stock is 2 inch drop-at-comb and 3 1/8 inch drop-at-heel.
