Steve he takes most of the photos at PGCA events, he does not know it but he is like the official PGCA photographer, especially since he works cheap!, most of the time that is! Gary

Yes, Gary. I can spot "Smitty's" work from a mile away. Somehow, I don't think he'll be that cheap for too much longer. If he can make 100+ year old scatter guns look that appealing, just think what he can do with a bevy of SI swimsuit models!!:rotf::corn:

Guns like Gary has make a photographers work easy. Gotta have the right subject matter, and you get easily inspired looking at works of art like this 20ga!
Speaking of that, I still have a few of those "other" photos that I took laying around Daryl. Sorry, felt like I should keep it "G Rated" here. :duck:

Mike you old dog you, bring her when we shoot the last five guns, I always did like purple, talk about a back drop! She would make a 300.00 dollar grade pale in comparison! hope to get the last gun by early September have 4 of them now then on to the book maker, I have edited all of the photos, Gary

I'm still very much a neophyte in the world of Parkers. Is that what's commonly referred to here as a, Doll's Head Extension? :rolleyes::):corn:
Or, perhaps, Lightening Cuts??? :whistle:

Could be Steve, and isn't there a "DD" stamp we see on extra fine Damascus Barrels too? :shock:

God one, Smitty! Not too shabby for a Fox guy.
I'm also betting that's no Half-Frame? :crying:

That's what we Parker guys call a matched pair. The bolsters around the nipples are highly embossed.:nono:

Funny how you can get in trouble looking at both the real stuff or man made.

Gary, I'm available for adoption if you are looking for heirs. Dad.

Gregg, A better idea, lets both adopt her! Gary

Have to ask and show my ignorance - which craftsman is responsible for the restoration? Or did this fine specimen get kid glove treatment for over 100 years? thanks
