This 1890 DH Parker was a near total loss when Brad Bachelder received it on a trade. As a personal project he restored it after spending his days on paying projects.
The DH is a 12 gauge with 30" Damascus barrels on a #1 Frame.
This DH sat in Bachelder's show rack for a year or so as example of his restoration work. In a moment of business weakness I convinced Mrs. Bachelder, their sales manager, to sell me the showpiece DH at a fair price.
I love the soft, warm colors that change in hue and tone with every flicker of light.

I have a 1-Frame GH with 30" barrels that was restored that looks very much like yours Mark. Dave has seen it... unfortunately, it now has issues since I fell with it
Mark;
You're killing me with all these damascus beauties. Thanks very much for all the great pics. Happy New Years.
Hey Daryl,
You better keep your nitroglycerin pills for your heart in arms reach... We are having fine nor'eastern storm in southeast Michigan so I may be house bound for a day of so. There may be a neglected vintage double or two in my safe...
PS: Most of my photos are shot with a Nikon D200 and 60mm Micro Nikkor lens.
Ho, ho, ho,
Mark
