Beautiful Grade 4 Bruce - really nice!

Are there any Remington codes on the flats?

Do you know who the initials are for?

[Bruce Day]

Thanks.

Yes. 1939 Rem rebarrel of a damascus gun. Missing the originals but the Rem barrels are beautiful. Well struck, perfectly fitted, twin real ivory beads, .032 and .008. Well contoured as shown following.

No idea.

Vey nice Bruce . This is a CHE 12 Live Bird gun

[Rich Anderson]

I like the duck, much better than the flying Turnips. My C's have a Stag on the floorplate. I never will understand that line of thinking. You wouldn't engrave a Mallard on your 30/06....would you?:nono:

Bruce, Turnips or not thats a nice 16 and what great chokes for the uplands.

[Harold Lee Pickens]

Beautiful gun and a 16 to boot! My DHE 16 is from 1905 and has Titanic barrels cyl/mod. Yeah, its got the flying turnips.

[Craig Larter]

Very nice examples I appreciate you guys taking the time to post pictures---it helps with the Parker education. Thanks much!!!

Bruce,

I have a 1904 dh #2 frame 16/20 2 barrel set. The engraving is almost identical. Who was the engraver?

[Bruce Day]

Tom, in answer to your question, it is very rare that any particular Parker engraver can be identified. In this case, none can, and I doubt that the work was done by the master engraver at the time. I believe its journeyman level work. TPS lists the known engravers.

Two barrel sets are uncommon, and a two barrel 16/20ga #2 frame set would be particularly uncommon, for all I know, it may be unique.

Bruce,

My gun is a 16/12 #2 frame. 16/20 wishful thinking!!!

[Eric Eis]

Bruce,

My gun is a 16/12 #2 frame. 16/20 wishful thinking!!!

Tom,

I have a two barrel set damascus 16/20 and it letter's D grade. Just thought you would like to know in case we can ever figure out a time to go shooting.:)
