Guess who?

[Rick Riddell]

So with the season here in Maine ending with a brutal snowstorm, I thought it would be fun to change some gears and play a fun little game of guess my grade using wood as a clue. So things don’t get too crazy I’ll start by posting a picture, who guesses it correctly will post a pic and so forth! I think it can be a fun little game to test your skills and a chance to see some great looking wood (I mean who can get tired of looking at great looking stocks!)

[Reggie Bishop]

Grade 2 is my guess.

[Rick Riddell]

Is it that obvious! Yes grade 2!

[Reggie Bishop]

Here is mine--

Were stocks graded down for non symmetry? (ie fancy on one side, plain on the other)?

[Dean Romig]

Try this one....

That always seems to be the problem when you case them John ,the Better side always seems to be the side that goes down ! The Picture I posted on Page one of this thread is a Late Remington , 1/2 Frame 12 Gauge D Grade and in my Opinion Both sides are more than suitable but I think this is more of a Remington Era thing than the earlier Parker Guns ! Of course just my opinion !

[Bill Murphy]

I haven't seen answers to the last two or three postings. OK, right or wrong?

[Dean Romig]

I'm saying GH on Harry's and DH on Stan's.

We generally see "non-symmetrical" stocks on Grade 2, 1, and 0 guns but not so much on Grade 3 and higher.

[Harry Collins]

Yes, Dean. Mine is a GHE 20. Tag! You're it.

[Stan Hillis]

You nailed it, Dean. DHE 16

You guys are rocking this! I’m hoping to see an odd ball! A real stumper ( no pun intended) no restocks!

[nick balzano]

all beautiful wood happy new year to all the Parker enthusiasts

[Russ Jackson]

You guys are rocking this! I’m hoping to see an odd ball! A real stumper ( no pun intended) no restocks!

Maybe this one will do it ,I think Dean will know this one !

[Brian Dudley]

Ohhh... you want a stumper? I have one for you guys.
Gotta get pics of it when I get home.

[Reggie Bishop]

Grade 5 Russ?

[Dean Romig]

I know Russ’ gun so I will disqualify myself on this one.

BTW, it is my favorite Parker ever.





.

[Dean Romig]

Nobody has guessed on mine on Pg. 2

It’s a stumper for sure.





.

[Brian Dudley]

Here you go...

What grade?

I guarantee this is an original genuine Parker stock.

79151

[Brian Dudley]

Nobody has guessed on mine on Pg. 2

.



Well, it is a hammer gun. I guess grade 2 maybe.

[Dean Romig]

Nope, not a grade 2.





.

[Brian Dudley]

Well, between the circassian and the hard rubber bp, it is a head scratcher.

[Russ Jackson]

Grade 5 Russ?

No !

[Russ Jackson]

Brian , I will take a guess at a Grade 3 ,from the little bit of Checkering we can see ???:corn:

[Brian Dudley]

Brian , I will take a guess at a Grade 3 ,from the little bit of Checkering we can see ???:corn:

No.

[Rick Riddell]

Brian I haven’t a clue, it looks surreal to be a Parker stock! Probably an odd ball 1 or 2.

[Randy G Roberts]

Here's another.

[Greg Baehman]

Grade 2?

[Brian Dudley]

C grade I believe Randy. But I had inside info...

[Brian Dudley]

Brian I haven’t a clue, it looks surreal to be a Parker stock! Probably an odd ball 1 or 2.

No. On both accounts.

[charlie cleveland]

grade 1 brian....charlie

[Randy G Roberts]

C grade I believe Randy. But I had inside info...

Right on both accounts. I figured you would pick that one out pronto.

[Dean Romig]

I added a couple of pictures to my post on page 2.

[Dean Romig]

Brian - is yours a grade 4?





.

[Brian Dudley]

Brian - is yours a grade 4?





.


Nope

[Russ Jackson]

No more guesses from my post on Page 3 ?

[Terry Hardy]

Dean...just SWAG... 100 dollar hammer?

[Dean Romig]

Dean...just SWAG... 100 dollar hammer?

No Terry.... but you’re on the right track.





.

[Bill Holcombe]

Maybe this one will do it ,I think Dean will know this one !

Grade 4?

[Russ Jackson]

Yes Bill You Got It ! Grade 4 , 20 Gauge , Remington Era Gun with very odd checkering !

[Dean Romig]

Yes Bill You Got It ! Grade 4 , 20 Gauge , Remington Era Gun with very odd checkering !

And in the opinions of several expert long-time Parker collectors, “Right as rain.”





.

[Bill Holcombe]

Yes Bill You Got It ! Grade 4 , 20 Gauge , Remington Era Gun with very odd checkering !

To be completely honest Dean gave it away. I remember the 2 of you discussing that gun in a few threads.

[Russ Jackson]

The Letter actually states who ordered the gun even though the info. came off the Remington Cards and that's about all the info. we got about the gun ! The Original owners Initials are on the Oval in the stock and I took the gun to Larry DelGrego's shop years ago and put the original Punches in the serial numbers on the inside of the stock and they matched perfectly ! I believe it to be all original as well even the Barrel Wedge engraving !

[Bill Murphy]

What about Brian's oddball??
