Gorgeous gun Gary with some amazing wood. That isn't fiddleback, but not sure what you would call it.

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

Bill, I just call it marbled, I am going to try to load the last 4 photos

Normally looking at a gun like this usually makes me say, "Makes me want to smoke a fine imported cigar, just looking at it." But I smoked so many during the time I owned it now I don't need to. Thanks, Gary!

[Craig Larter]

Beautiful. Is it restored? Who's work is it?

That's called "mineral streaking".

Gary, those DD Damascus barrels are incredible!


Would you be kind enough to share some pictures of your gun with the flowers engraved on the extractor?

[Rich Anderson]

My 16ga lifter is in that same serial number range. I'll have to go look but I bet they left Parker about the same time.

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

Dean, I do not know how to bring those photos up to this thread it is under engravers and engraving pg 2 fourteen post down bring it forward if you can, and by the way I do not own that gun any more but I am sure the new owner would not mind you bringing the photos up, The whole gun was unusual, wish I had not sold it, Gary

[Merv Boyd]

Nothing against the engravers of today but there is something different about the engraving styles on old guns especially given the time period, workplace conditions, lighting etc. Just love the engraving.

[Harry Schlott]

I believe it is called Carpathian Walnut. Beautiful stuff. Who restore this beauty?

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

Harry, Bachelder did the restoration, Gary

[Kevin McCormack]

That would be Circassian walnut.

[Dean Romig]

I finally found my only picture of the engraved extractor face on a lifter that Gary owned until recently. I've never seen another Parker with the extractor engraved.

I've seen an English gun engraved "KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN" on the breech face
