Great case! I love it! Maybe the buyer will post some photos of it with his Parker in it?

I'll get pictures to Matthew as soon as I unpack the case after delivery. The Gold Hearts Gun is no ugly gun. The wood and barrels are original and in high condition. The receiver has remnants of the rust and tarnish that the seller thankfully did not address. Right now, let me say that the late Daryl Middlebrook was the prime mover in helping me to buy this gun at a price I would pay. I think Daryl called in a favor from the owner, a good friend and gun show partner of his. I remember, years ago at the Greenwich show, leading Daryl by the ear, to an outrageous near new C grade Bernard Steel gun that he didn't know he needed. The Gold Hearts Gun was his payback.

First of all, a big thanks to all who have been following my project these past few months. It has been a lot of fun and a learning experience. Very grateful for everyones advise and expertise in getting this case all done.

Well, "my" case is done and shipped and here are the last photos of the completed project. I was a loss for words after seeing the gun in the case. Stunning, is all I can say. They Beavertail fore-end cradle looked great and fit really accents the gun.

A vintage case holding a vintage beautiful Parker shotgun. I am very happy today

Thanks again
Matt
