CANDID OPINIONS PLEASE ON THIS GH GUN

[Bob Jurewicz]

Pete,
Being a member I would have the right to post a "for sale" in that forum if I wished.. My intent was to get opinions from the experts on a gun I find very interesting and thought others on this board may also. Linking to the GI saved me tons of picture posting time.. I have never seen shortened Parker barrels look so good and original.

Bob I agree with your intent and I personnally don't mind being led to something for sale. I can't find the rules on here but I went back to the last post that was problematic. Seems technically when there is a link to a gun for sale it's supposed to be posted in the members only forum for guns for sale because this forum is open to the public. I am sure when JD comes along he will just move it to that forum and it's not a big deal.

On to the gun. Parker I believe did trim some barrels perhaps a letter would tell you they did this one. There are and have been many talented people to work on them. Many are butchered but this one was not.

I have one question Bob you posted that you think this gun is a fake so why dont you mention that in your description of the gun on GI ? You also might want to edit your min. barrel wall thickness in the add.

Bob probably started this thread to flush me out. He knew I couldn't resist. The Lovely Linda owns a DHE 26" gun with touching tubes at the muzzle that was originally a 30" gun. That particular gun has taught me to ignore touching tubes as a sign of originality. We buy letters, measure bores and chokes, and look at rib ends with lots of skepticism and high magnification. I said I thought it was a great gun, but not original. The price reflects that. However, as I said in my first post, I think the rib end looks terrible, at least in the pictures.
