Too bad the talent skipped at least two generations...

I posted some photos of a bracelet he did for me, and will take some photos of the guns later :)

Russ, what do you do with your gun? Hunt, hang it over the mantle....yadda yadda lol and how did you come upon it?

[Sarah Runge]

Oh and Russ, I love the dog scene on the top one, we have several of his drawings and the dogs are my favorite. And the scroll work just amazes me, I don't know if I would have a steady enough hand to do all that!

You should give it a try!! There are some one week engraving classes around if you are interested.

Sarah ,I do in fact shoot all of my guns and I am a Bird Hunter mostly , Grouse ,Woodcock and Pheasant in our area of the country !I really enjoy all of my guns but to be honest ,these two are my favorites and I am sure it is because of the wonderful engraving and of course they are Parker Guns , the engraved guns seem to be a passion for most folks that love these old Parkers ,we are always in search of them and as you ask , How do you come upon them , I seem to find most guns I end up purchasing on the internet these days but every once in a while ,you get lucky and get a tip about one and locate it ,those buys are always the most enjoyable ! Some times you even get lucky enough to get a little Family History on the gun ! Best ; Russ
