Wow that's one attractive gun, with 32" barrels and single trigger to boot.

Wonderful BHE Gary. It looks a lot like a certain AAHE 20/28 two-barrel set I know of.

Do you have a letter on that gun yet? I would be interested to know if the original buyer was one H.A.B.
He ordered the AAHE with no game scenes but only with 'rose & scroll' "like the B."

Gary, I missed you but I heard the story about this. Apparently the gentleman was extremely proud of this gun, if his initial pricing structure was anything like the "sailboat" hammer gun!!

Beautiful gun Gary. With BHEs like that, who needs AHEs.

I consider myself lucky to have held such a wonderful gun. That would be my Holy Grail of Parkers for sure. What a great clays gun that one would be and if one was a water fowler I'm sure it would be right at home in the blind.

It was nice to put Gunner's and Mattie's guns together. Two very special guns for very special friends.

Gary, will your letter show who H.A.B is? I can think of a couple of possibilities. I also know of at least one local B Grade in that serial range with no animals or birds, only scroll and roses on the floorplate. Is that a late Miller trigger on Gary's gun?
