A great BHE find is ready for action.
 

I found this gun at Tulsa a few years back. 12 gauge, 1 1/2 frame, BHE 2 bbl set, SST, straight grip and with origin full coverage checkered splinter forearms. It was exciting as it has the original hang tags with unusual 30” and 27” barrels. The forearm for the 27” had been replaced by a nasty beaver tail and the buttstock had been replaced with some nasty checkering done on it along with being too thick in the wrist.

I sent the gun to Brian Dudley about a year ago and he did a dandy job reshaping and recheckering the butt. Ed Morgan had a spare original splinter forearm wood with full coverage checkering he sold me. Brian fit that for me and Brian made all the screws perfect along with a replacement forearm tip.

I could not be happier with this gun. I love the relief and style of the engraving, all dogs no birds. What it started as and what I have.

Hope you are having a great weekend.

Beautiful! Great job of bringing that one back!

What a great gun!!!! I love the full checkering on the forend:)

Very nice Brian!

I love that relief engraving, makes the dogs seem alive.

What a wonderful gun. The engraving is incredible.

I really love the checkering! Very cool to have both hang tags that match what you have.

Wow! What a great Parker, my favorite engraving period. Nice save Brian H and beautiful work Brian D.

Wonderful work Mr. Dudley - and a wonderful find Mr. Hornacek !!

Brian, what are the two "dots" on either side of the doll's head? What a gun.

It’s just part of the engraving pattern. It has a lot of little things the more you look at it. The engraver was very imaginative.

A true dog lovers gun. Thanks for sharing!

The engraving on this gun utilizes pin punch marks quite a bit, which is different for Parkers.
