Dave, I have a 1904 DH 16. Same engraver. I think this might be my favorite period for engraving. Gorgeous gun. Thanks for posting those photos.

Back from Canada (outside Regina) - good hunt in damp weather - on and off rain throughout. Had opportunities for Ducks Geese and Sandhills and made good on them. My 3 frame 32" DHE combined with KM #3 1 1/14 oz. really reached out when needed on big birds. The 32" VHE was deadly on ducks and a couple Canadas.
I had much fun watching my hunting friends fluster with the lodge issued jam-o-matics. Of course my Parker's were flawless - as expected. A couple pics of crane decoy spread and 3 frame in a barley field.

Great account and photos. That second photo should be the next home page picture.

Going to a Southern Dove shoot on Sunday. Tron between a top lever gr3 in 12, a Trojan 28" in 20ga, gr3 16 and a gr4 late rem double trap with BFE and Vent Rib straight stock. I might bring them all and decide at the last minute. Any preference amongst youse guys?

Guns used so far 2019
Started S Tx whitewing doves with 12 ga $125 grade lifter FF but found out darting diving birds were too much. Needed spreader loads so switched to VHE 28 and bingo limits filled. Also shot 20 ga 30" bbl DHE also choked FF and again I needed spreader loads for doves coming so fast in high winds. So I pulled out old faithful Damascus DHE 28" bbl 16 ga choked IC and F and bingo limits filled. My waterhole lease will be hunted this afternoon for the first time. Mourning doves and plan to start with VHE 28 ga then try lifter again ,newly acquired 20 ga DHE 28" barrels and an AH 12 30" bored IC and Mod simply because I have not shot this gun that much. The smaller gauges seem to be stealing the shoulder-time!!! Will probably report in future PP story on the outcome plus my daughter Perrys new Brittany named Parker!

I will be taking at least my 16g Parker to Maine in October. Took it last year and went 11/18 on grouse and 1/1 on mudbats.
