For those of us who like and use these old guns, weight and dimensions are how we compare and contrast what works and doesn't work for ourselves. It would be interesting to understand how early subgauge American guns were set up in the very early day of production here. For something as clearly unique as this little 28, those dimensions would tell us an interesting tale.

Wouldn't it be nice to know when this West Virginia beauty was made in contrast to the first production of the 28 gauge Parkers in 1899.

I like and use them just fine, thank you wink
I would like to know where they’ve been though. I found my eight gauge in Galveston, Texas. I can’t imagine the birds ( and storms) it must’ve seen.

Very low serial number going to assume first year of production —-should that put us at 1901?

Marks 21,
Very nice Hollenbeck/TBG Co. 28 gauge. Very few made as I am sure you are aware!! Would love to know serial number. I have a copy of factory records and would be curious to see if it is listed. Love it!
