Gary, those DD Damascus barrels are incredible!


Would you be kind enough to share some pictures of your gun with the flowers engraved on the extractor?

My 16ga lifter is in that same serial number range. I'll have to go look but I bet they left Parker about the same time.

Nothing against the engravers of today but there is something different about the engraving styles on old guns especially given the time period, workplace conditions, lighting etc. Just love the engraving.

That would be Circassian walnut.

I finally found my only picture of the engraved extractor face on a lifter that Gary owned until recently. I've never seen another Parker with the extractor engraved.
