Not a sin to have a set of barrels grow but it is to have them chopped from a collectors viewpoint. There use to be a set of four Parkers skeet guns, with 24" barrels, that was original. Those were sold as I understand it about 15-20 years ago for a right steep price even then. But they were factory and well documented as such. Anything that Ed has is suspect, even more if the records note 28" instead of 24". And I am not saying that Ed cut them as even he knows that a Parker is best left unscrewed up with, even if you are a master gunsmith.
