Congrats on new Parker. They created a nice shooter for you and I enjoyed the other pics, looks like some great hunts and beautiful dogs. I would say you have many fun days ahead with your Parkers!

Mike, I agree with Chris Dawe, matching #'s don't make a great shooter. All that matters is you like it. I've built quite a few 2 barrels sets for friends and myself. The #'s don't match, but they're all great shooters! That's quite the gun you have, very nice! The G is my favorite engraving.

Great pics but I really like the one with all the pheasants laid out and the look on the dogs face like he is trying to pick which one he wants for dinner!

Default Austrian steel barrels

I don't find any other references to Parkers with Austrian steel barrels. I think it is a rebuild with a refinished stock, replacement of splinter forearm with a beavertail, and adding a butt pad. The serial numbers on the receiver and forearm are different. The result is a very nice shooter.

I am fortunate to have some great friends who live in Parkersburg, some time in Lake Park, and now living outside Des Moines.

Many years ago, my dad had a BHE 28, with a second set of smoothbore barrels made by Hambrusch. In addition, when they made those barrels, for an additional $800, they made him a set of 25-20 barrels, with ejectors. The Austrians know which end of the gun the bullet comes from.

I wish, Harold. He's been gone 35 years now, and we never heard of digital cameras back then. I believe he traded that gun to Gary Herman for an AHE20.

With Covid, it's been a year since we were able to visit the kids and grandson in Maine, or our daughter or granddaughters in Salem, OR. We are locked down in Texas, with hope of making road trips after completing vaccinations in February. I found a great lodge in North Woods Maine named Libby Camps, that we might try to visit in the future.

Always heard good things about Libby camps.
