Another amazing gun Gary. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I seem to remember a discussion some time ago about how rare it is to find Parkers engraved with fishing or boating scenes. But since I can't find that thread can anyone (Gary?) help me understand just how rare such engraving is?

John, I believe that the Admiral Fletcher gun has nautical scenes, Bruce knows this gun better than most, I think my 20g a lifter and his gun are the only ones I know about, I am trying to make a connection with the 20 gauge A grade and a past President, The gun was sent back to Parker in 1900 from Washington DC for repairs and another set of barrels, Austin Hogan and I had several conversations about this, before he passed, he seemed to think it had a connection to Grover Cleveland, and said I should investigate this assumption. He always liked to carry a small bore gun with him on his fishing expeditions so he could shoot shore birds, He was an avid duck hunter, and Colt Presented him with a 8 gauge, which he nicknamed "Death and Destruction" maybe the only 8 gauge they made I do not know for sure. but he was a hearty and consistent sportsman, he was also cited a couple times by the game wardens for killing to many ducks etc. Hope I can make a connection, it is hard to find much about him he does not have a library as yet. Gary

Would have to agree that trigger guard is outstanding. What a classic scene and well ordained with trim.

The only thing more interesting than the engraving on this gun is the character who walked it into the tent so many years ago......those of us who sat down and examined the gun while speaking to him will well remember.........
