Plausible

[MARK KIRCHER]

Here is a neat little CHE 20 bore with 28 inch tubes.
Built in 1920 with a Parker single trigger. The gun was consigned to Wilbur Parker and he returned it in 1925.
As the first single triggers were put into production in 1921, my close group of theorists have found it "plausible" that this was sample to show important customers.
Brian reworked the replacement buttstock and did a wonderful job.
A gun I suspect anyone would be proud to carry.

[Dean Romig]

Quite plausible in fact. Made the year before the single trigger was introduced? I’d say VERY plausible.

And yes, I would be very proud to tote that little sweetie into the grouse covers. I believe any bird would be proud to be shot with that gun!

[Brian Dudley]

The gun is fitted with the first generation trigger.

[Mills Morrison]

I'd be proud to own just about any CH 20. That one is particularly nice

[Paul Ehlers]

I would say not only plausible-but probable due to the provenance.

Super sweet gun that anyone would be proud to own!

And just so wonderful to see a bird gun with a BIRD DOG engraved on the floorplate, instead of a gang of horned critters running through the forest! Just sayin!!

[Chris Robenalt]

Ditto on Kevin's 3 dog observation. I'm looking for this gun myself! It's everything a bird hunter would want in a gun. It makes my VH 20 look like a Stevens 311. Lol

Evryone's entitled to their opinion . But I like antlered critters and I sure as hell wouldn't turn down a small gauge gun with a stag on the floorplate .

[Mills Morrison]

The Woodcock on the floorplate of my 4 frame 10 toplever takes the cake for me. Way out of place, even if it is a good rendering.

Like Craig, I would not mind a deer on the floorplate.

Wow, I never saw that one coming Craig :rotf:
I actually chuckled to myself and wondered how long it would take you.

Well now if the woodcock bother you I suppose I could find room for a third four frame gun in the safe :whistle:

[Stan Hillis]

I'm with Kevin on this one, I like to see birds and bird dogs on "obvious" bird guns, although a rabbit is not out of place on one, I guess.

[Dean Romig]

We know of a couple of B Lifters with rabbits as the motif on the lockplates.

My new to me 1922 3 frame 32" BHE - (Thanks Bob)
Finally a waterfowl gun with waterfowl on it!!!

Now you're talking my language!

Years ago I showed Kevin my CHE at a pigeon shoot. He looked at the floorplate and made some caustic comment about elk on a bird gun. I agree, but I liked those elk. They were executed beautifully down the the little "thingy" between the bulls legs. At the time I was amused at Kevin's comment and still am. Another great memory of shooting with the Maryland boys. I miss them.

[MARK KIRCHER]

Sadly this CHE 20 does not fit me.
I am looking to barter - preferably for a Parker .410
I will bring gun to Hausman's next month.
