Beautiful! That is one to be proud of! I really like the game scenes and detail in the tight scroll. The hammers are exquisite!
Thanks for sharing.

Very nice. I love the little bird on the top at the front of the tang. Very interesting hammers for a Parker.

Indeed, the hammers are unique. They are almost Remington-ish

Gentlemen,

As unique as the hammers are, they are correct for this gun. "Remington" my butt!

My Missus thinks I am crazy when I tell her that Parker hammers are sexy, especially those like your B Grade

Happy holidays,

I forgot how beautiful that gun was but I know it is in good hands now.

Yes, I do believe those hammers came from a 1889 Remington. If you would have brought it out to the club, which would have been nice, we could have compared it to my 1889. But no, you didn't bring it. Were you afraid someone was going to hurt it ? I would have put on my white gloves - now my feelings are hurt.

Hey Paul,

Who are you trying to BS! You do not have any feelings!

Last Sunday at the Lapeer club I shot a lovely restored Lefever DS 20 gauge and nobody except Dave L. even gave it a look... Too bad because it is a really nice gun!
