Default My other Parker

This is my "shooting" Parker - 1902 VH 12ga ordered by Marshall Wells Hardware Co in Duluth MN. It has been re-stocked by the famous rifle builders, Al and Roger Biesen of Spokane, WA and re-cased by Turnbull. Shot a few pheasants with it and hope to get out and shoot a few more.

Eric,

Beautiful wood, just not my taste in checkering or shape. To each his own, and certainly made by a famous stocker so you know there is quality there.

A skeet club buddy has a 20 gauge Model 21 stocked by Al B. many years ago. Most Biesen rifles have the big fleur de lis like your VH. That is an astounding piece of English Walnut.

The Turnbull re-casing is great and is hard to tell from original, at least on the side shown. Can you post a pic of the trigger plate and right side?

What a beauty! I also agree that the casework is in the spirit of the original and not tarted up with every color of the rainbow. Good luck with it and what a gun to share days afield.
