I have a few Parkers with engraved ovals - the first is Rear Admiral Thomas Perry's DH Damascus 20ga. after Abe Chaber refinished the wood and added a leather covered pad. - The second is Jessie Alvord Bishop's little 28 ga. DHE - and the third is a Remington DHE 20 ga. and I don't know who S.S. is/was. Then there is Jessie Bishop's again and Adm. Thos. Perry's (before refinishing) and Jessie Bushop's together. I'm still looking for the picture of Katherine H. Romig's 28 ga. Repro PG, BTFE, DT, Q1 & Q2 engraved oval.
