Default DH Restored

This 1890 DH Parker was a near total loss when Brad Bachelder received it on a trade. As a personal project he restored it after spending his days on paying projects.

The DH is a 12 gauge with 30" Damascus barrels on a #1 Frame.

This DH sat in Bachelder's show rack for a year or so as example of his restoration work. In a moment of business weakness I convinced Mrs. Bachelder, their sales manager, to sell me the showpiece DH at a fair price.

I love the soft, warm colors that change in hue and tone with every flicker of light.
