Default Parker Print Block

I recently came into possession of several printer blocks (copper) of shotguns, one is of a side by side Parker shotgun - shown in great detail. Does anyone collect items such as these? Pictures are available.

Rick Losey has one of a Parker hammerless. He bought it at a small flea market, if I remember correctly.

Rick, can you show us the picture again please?

Default Printer Block

Several of the Printer Blocks I came into possession of are of an early Remington Take Down Boy's rifle. There is so much history behind these blocks, I have nine, but am keeping two for my "Man Cave" and will sell the remainder. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to get a quality product using them.

Take Care,
Sherman

Being in and from the South, I have never hunted grouse. But maybe that is just as well, I live for Quail hunting in the Plantations of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. Someday, perhaps I will go north. Ya'll are just having too much fun.

That was a good one Jeff. I remember seeing it there. The photo does not do it justice as to how much detail it has.
