What do you mean, exactly, by the farmer reference?

Looks to be priced like a 10ga magnum rather than one of the "short" 10's.

I never met a farmer with a double. Never. A lot of pumps, and I have the Winchester model 1912 20 gauge that sat in my Uncle Rollie's barn from, like, the mid 1930s until the mid 1990s. When I got it, it looked like that is what it had done, too.
Best, Ted

I never met a farmer with a double. Never. My Grandfather was a farmer in Independence Township, Hennepin County, Minnesota, and after a brief affair with one of those new fangled Winchester Model 1897s, he traded it off at Kennedy Bros. in 1901 for a used 1890 vintage heavy PH-Grade Parker Bros. and used it until his death in 1954. My uncle, born the year Grandpa got the Parker, used it for another 30 years. As to the No. 1E NID Super-Ten in question, we know from Walter's search of the records for Frank Srebro's DGJ article on the NID Super-Tens that there were around 300 less Super-Tens built than Magnum-Tens. Even if that gun has a 1929 serial number, it must have languished in inventory a while, as the Ithaca "bridge trestle" recoil pad didn't come out until 1931-2. Likewise, the Howland-designed non-selective single trigger also first appears in the 1932 Ithaca Gun Co. catalogues.

Dave, That is a great picture. Most of the farmers I have known got their guns the same way they got their corn binders, stock tanks, and snow fencing-second hand, at the auction. Grandpa was doing quite well if he was shooting a PH Parker. I wonder if the story would have ended the same if Grandpa had ended up with a model 12 instead of the hammergun?
Best, Ted
PS ed, I'm almost at the point of putting you on ignore with your idiot-speak typing. What are you, 6 years old? I know recent, legal, immigrants, who would be embarrassed for you, at what you post. Straighten up and fly right. Your grade school education was likely free, but, it was worth much more than that.

Great photo.
But aren't all vintage Parker photos supposed to have a big CSL emblazoned across the most interesting part of them?
