Absolutely beautiful Craig. As I've said before, there are "C's" and then there are "C's"!!!. That's a C!!!!

Thanks for sharing it with us.

I don't know if he can be considered a "Fox guy" anymore... but I think we can call him a "Cross-gunner"

Dean: I like them all. Parkers interest me because of the long history from early hammer guns to steel barrels and hammerless actions. I only collect Parkers not available from AH Fox. I have some nice damascus barreled guns and one massive hammer Parker gun. As you know my love is vintage SXS made for waterfowl hunting.
Parker collecting is very addictive. I appreciate all the friendship and encouragement from the Parker collectors.

Craig - Just so you know... We all consider you a special friend and a respected collector of vintage SXS guns, no matter the manufacturer !

Craig and I just returned from bird hunting trip in SD. If I remember correctly he toted "Old Reliable" across the prairies. His big Fox waterfowl guns would have tired his arms out.

Charlie - Look in your Autumn 2015 Issue of Parker Pages beginning on page 23, "One BIG Parker Quality D 10 Gauge Top Lever Hammer Gun" for the story with pictures of this fantastic gun. We all had an opportunity to buy this gun from the previous owner who posted about it on the forum a while back.

Dean, the not so politically correct (soon to be a "CLASSIC") 2016 buzz word for Craig's malady will henceforth be: SWITCH-HITTER ....with much, much more exciting news to follow on that front!! Stay tuned......
