Here’s some pictures of the above mentioned gun I got from my first Parker mentor, Jim DeSpagno. He graciously allowed me take possession after he realized how infatuated I was with it. (As he has with several other guns). Edgar Spencer agreed to build the custom case just before he retired from that endeavor. It is a true work of art.
The gun is a 16gs TL hammer gun with 30” bbls. The rear sight folds and has two notches, so it can be used from either barrel. The rifled barrel insert works with both barrels. It slides in from the breech and has a locking nut nut which screws into the muzzle end.
(It’s only letting me post one at a time.)
