Unfortunately no Parkers came my way this year, mainly due to my focusing on a couple of Model-21 custom upgrade projects I've had in the works. I was able to complete the 20ga & then found a 16ga to match it, so now it's in the works.

The 20 is a first year DT, Extractor, 28" gun that I converted to a flat side, English grip, skeleton butt with a ho-hum stick of wood & American prairie bird theme engraving, plus a ducks head on the top lever.

I thought it looked like a pretty honest, good looking 21 to begin with but wow! That's a better than average 2x4 they hung on that 21 for you.

Picked up a 1968 Purdey 12 ga. on the cheap...a friend of a friend going through a divorce who needed cash. Almost in perfect condition.

The Model 21 is beyond wonderful. What are your plans for receiver finish?

If you take the 2 at the end, and put it at the front, you get my telephone number. Numbers tickle the shit out of me.

Charlie, that lantern is an old Delta battery lantern. It's marked N.Y.N.H. & H. RR. New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad. That company goes back to the time when they owned the rails, and several side-wheel steamboats that ran from New York, up the Connecticut river, to Hartford. I hope to able to get a battery for it if I can get my credit score up a little higher
