Ken was a good friend and helped me on a couple of projects. I enjoyed visiting with him and his lovely wife many times. The loss of his collection was a tragedy. The most memorable project he did for me was the skeleton buttplate on the Gold Hearts Gun. This little 16 Parker is a great example of his work and I would like to own it. Thanks for the great pictures.

Happy Easter!
Keavin,
It has the typical K. Hurst stamp seen on other pieces of his work. It is stamped on the water table.

This is not a Parker but I am pretty sure it is Ken's work if I remember correctly. Beautiful.....

Just beautiful! I'd take that bird hunting in a heartbeat. It's no different than being seen in public with a beautiful woman on your arm

I think that is my friend Steve's Super-X. If I am right, that is one of Ken's most interesting works. Check out the water, the trees, and the turtle.

Not too long after I retired, Ken posted on one of the sites that he was looking for a solid rib Remington Model 17 and I tipped him off to one at a local shop here. While we were communicating he sent me these pictures of a Baker he was working on.

I've never seen pictures of it completed or of the Model 17.
