Surprising he didn't do his own engraving. He made some beautiful jewelry - my mother had a very nice band bracelet, silver and gold and engraved as well made and signed by Lynn Bogue Hunt. Wish she still had it but being an antique dealer, it went for a handsome profit.

Parker SBT's- Lynn Bogue Hunt-
Thanks Dean, I missed that in reading Mr. Murphy's post and detailed reply. So another added dimension to Mr. Hunt's shooting life. By the way, in the post-Vintagers and PGCA event wrap-up, I believe Art Wheaton or another BOD member was looking ahead to next's event and a theme- I suggested to him perhaps the Parker Trap and Skeet Guns- Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the Parker SBT existed first, then as Remington was a "booster" for Skeet, the Parker Skeet guns came out in the 1930's. Not sure about the Parker Double trap guns with the ventilated ribs- but I'd like to see more about the Clays and Live Bird guns Parker made--over and beyond the first class article by Jeff Kuss in the recent edition of Parker Pages!!

Dean,
I've got my doubts that Hunt actually made that jewelry himself, I believe a jewelry company just used his designs. I've got a necktie marked Lynn Bogue Hunt but I don't believe he was a weaver so I'm assuming it's the same kinda deal. I've seen several pieces of LBH jewelry over the years. If he made it himself he was pretty prolific. Destry

No Destry, it is a documented fact that he made some jewelry. His name isn't stamped into the piece, his signature is engraved.

Neat question, Dean. Yes, the gun was sold new at Abercrombie and Fitch. Anyone care to pay for a letter from Griffin and Howe Research to find out whether LBH bought it new and how much he paid? Maybe he traded his work for the gun. The ledger books would tell the tale.
