Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Calvin I find that I don't have any photos of the frame engraving but he brought this shot gun to hunt prairie grouse in Nebraska and here are a couple photos from then.
Just one of many adventures.
On the C Bernard vent rib, the top and bottom ribs and the vent rib are all of Bernard sheet stock. That is the usual, that you will see ribs made of the same composite material as the barrels, but sometimes you will see fluid steel sheet stock used in the ribs.
The first is the line up of guns used by the five of us, all 12ga, left to right ,C Bernard hammer, CHE Bernard vent rib, GHE, DHE, near new Trojan.
The second is the CHE Bernard vent rib with a prairie chicken. These are all wild birds....you can't pen raise grouse.

nice line up Bruce.
as for the vent rib CHE -- for so early in the hammerless production - that is really a show piece
makes one wonder if that was the purpose. Is there a letter on it? it would have made quite a display item or a attention getting new model gun to be publicized by a well known shooter.
