Russ deserved to win the PCA!! Beautiful gun and a very well done presentation with the vest and pheasant tail.

Did anybody get a good close up picture of the guns on the table and the gun that won? Also: Does anybody have any info on the winner? (20ga-28ga-skeet etc.?)

I believe the display with the coat and pheasant tails was Randy Roberts BHE 20 gauge which was the runner up gun.

OK, I do know Russ had the placard with the photo of him, dog and gun. Thought the pheasant tail and vest was his too? Just shows Russ gun didn't need all that eye-candy to make the gun look nice.

Beautiful display across the board. Very nice examples of the gunmaker's art.

Mike:

Those accoutrements were for another, and indeed very beautiful, gun.

My supporting items were the tent card; factory letter; hunting photo and caption (see all below). And I have no photos featuring my gun.

A VH winner? Too implausible.

Maybe we need a do-over.

It must have something to do with all Parker guns’ mechanicals being A-grade.

Thanks Russ! For me, I'll vote for the V grade or Trojan every time over the high grade guns. The high grade guns had been cared for over time but those Trojans and V grade were shot and shot and shot and shot. To have a lower grade gun in excellent condition is a testimony to the maker and the owners. BTW, you are 100% correct on the "innards" all being A grade.

Russell's very deserving gun. I have some other pictures that I plan to post in the next day or two. Problem is right now that I just got home earlier this afternoon and I have a few other pressing things to take care of but I will get them on the forum. Thanks for everyone who contributed with a display gun, it truly was a wonderful display.
