Quail Gun, 20ga

[Bruce Day]

Chuck, you've probably seen photos of my C 20, its the one with rondell side panels and the wood duck on the floor plate. Skeleton butt, PG. Charlie has one with high condition case colors and deep cut engraving that is drop dead gorgeous and ranks as one of the most attractive Parkers I have seen . There are not many of these guns, about 4 or 5 by my less than perfect count.

Yours is a beautiful gun, every one of these I have seen has been highly interesting and wonderful work. You know how rare these are and how sought after they are.

Mine is still in its A&F oak and leather case with silver A&F New York oil bottles and snap caps, which is kind of nice. We'll have them at Minneapolis Pheasant Fest Feb 15-17 and the NRA Houston show May 3-5....we could use your help???? Good venue for selling guns also. Last year I saw a pair of 28ga D's change hands for way more than I thought rational and the oil market has been good for Houston.

I have seen your gun -- gorgeous, the rondell scenes are 1 of my favorites. Rich has a rondell engraved C 16 with bernard steel barrels that is gorgeous as well. These "C" grade guns in my opinion are some of the prettiest of all the parkers and the rarest as well. I believe you are right about the damascus "C" 20ga guns at possibly 6. Not many around. I will look into coming out and shooting with you guys. How did the trip to the sand hills end for you guys
