Certain well informed and wealthy familes who owned well stocked gunrooms and sporting estates seem to have regularly included Parker guns in their library. the DuPont family comes to mind. Their Parkers were frequently high grade and of unusual specification. I have previously posted photos of a DuPont gun from my collection and a 16 ga A grade lifter actioned gun owned by a friend. That gun has Whitworth fluid steel barrels.
There was a question about the early AAH 12 ga. When Charlie owned it he had a nice article written and professional photos taken for publication in the Double Gun Journal. There are many fine Parkers in various DGJ articles.
