Josh,
That is the same one I was referring to. So that is a lifter then.

Just got a flat rib, no safety DHE pigeon gun back from the wood refinisher. It letters with flat rib, safety delete, round grip, Silver pad, 30" Titanic barrels. It is a full house Pennsylvania pigeon gun ordered by the founder of the Bradford PA. gun club. Like most Pennsylvania pigeon guns, it has suffered a hard life, but is all original and looks good from six feet.

I had a DH fluid steel 8 ga the lettered with a flat rib, straight stock and silvers pad. I know Josh saw the gun. It was an interesting gun.

That's the thing Bill there was no name, but everything else was spelled out in the letter. So you tell me who would order such a gun, got me, but it was light for a 8 ga and had great balance and pointed great. The gun had not been fired much as it was a 95% condition gun.

And you would sell such a gun?

Eric had reached a pinnacle in his collecting of very high condition DH Parkers. What would you have done?... the chase was over.

Couldn't have said it better Dean. The chase was fun, showing them was fun and then you say now what, I can't shoot them so I look at them on the wall so it was time to move on. The collection was sold as a whole, but I think now it has been broken up.

Bill I think Steve Barnett has that 8 gauge listed on his site. It is a beauty w/ a straight stock, 34" barrels and a flat rib. It may not be the same gun but how many flat rib 8 gauge guns could there be?
