Nice Magazine Cover.....
 

......with a young lady and a Parker.

That's right Mark - she is lovely. This particular portrait has been discussed here before several years ago. One of the points someone made back then was that the Parker has an unusually short forend... but maybe that's where it broke off when she slammed the forend on without checking that it was lined up correctly. It looks to have been nicely trimmed though.

In the Spring Issue of Parker Pages you will be treated to a few guns that were owned by a fellow who just couldn't stop breaking his forends in half :whistle:

Unusually long trigger bow also. Nonetheless, she can park her gun in my rack anytime she wants to.

Looks as if it was painted with artistic license

There is a copy on EBay right now gents.

Frame it and it would make a nice addition to the gun room.

Love the early Gals with their big Hats and Parkers....

Best, CSL

I'll bet the 2nd from the right, who is holding a Parker, is the model for that magazine cover!
