It should bring a high price.It is a rare gun.I don't understand ordering an A grade and not having it engraved.That to me is one of the main reasons to get a higher grade gun.

Yes very odd, I wonder if the original sales price would have been adjusted by Parker to reflect that.

My unengraved CH grade was credited 25% for no engraving and D grade wood. $37.50 to be exact.

Bill, do you know the story behind our friend's BH that also has no engraving? It's the one with the (
 ) replacement wood.Could these three have been ordered by the same guy?... all high grades - all without engraving - all pretty close to each other... That's a pretty eccentric MO The ABC's of Parkers with no engraving! .

That's a great gun but the lack of engraving will greatly effect the value, IMHO.
Would anybody here buy that and then have it engraved? I wouldn't. Will still bring a big price though, I'm sure. |

I don't understand why someone would order a high grade gun with no engraving other than possibly nicer wood. If that were the case why not buy a VH/VHE then upgrade to stock?
Purdey made a gun with no engraving, it was called a Funeral gun, blued receiver no embellishment's. You just never know what's in the mind of a gun buyer

S/N is 103557. Looks like Parker produced 4 grade 7s in a row. 557-560. Could these have been produced for their pro shooters?

Much finer finish and adjustment of the locks and the bolting, higher grade wood, nicer checkering, the high grade profiling of the receiver and the Whitworth barrels.
I've seen one and found records of other Ansley H. Fox doubles ordered with no engraving. One clearly specified "not even a mark." |
