BOAT PADDLE GHE

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

If you were duck hunting with this GHE 32" steel barrel gun and lost your paddle overboard you could get home with this baby. That said I don't think I would put it in the water. enjoy Gary

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

I forgot to say double clock and get close ups. The gun is 12 gauge on 1-1/2 frame

[Mark Ouellette]

Gary,

Those engraved birds look like birds! Are you sure that this is a Parker? :rotf:

I wish my Parkers had birds that looked like birds...

It would be ok if used as a rudder for going downstream:rotf:. As a safty note when used as a rudder make sure it's unloaded.

[Rick Losey]

i don't think you need to worry, if you're up the creek without a paddle

just take the GHE out of its case and pronounce it "original"

then you can get a ride back with any of the half dozen folks who show up out of nowhere to tell you it can't be.

:corn:

and oh yeah - nice gun

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

Serial number and grade is stamped under the trigger guard on the stock has a dogs head buttplate

[Dave Noreen]

Nice gun!! Kind of looks like what I'm having done to my "Big Twenty" --

OK, Dave, tell us about this project.

Gary - like i said -- nice gun, and I didn't say it was not original, just - ya know how it goes.

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

No problem, When I bought the gun 10years ago in Wilmington OH, I did not think the stock was original, and the owner graciously let me take the guard off. and there it was

[Ed Blake]

Is that one of those newfangled "hammerless" guns? I thought you were a hammer man?

[George M. Purtill]

We have been treated to a lot of nice Gs lately. Like I said in a different thread, the G is much unappreciated. Right Mills?

[Bill Zachow]

Gary, not only do the engraved birds look like birds, they actually look like ducks and pheasants. Most Gs I have ever seen have had the ubiquitous "flying turnips". Very nice and unique.

[John Truitt]

Mr C. very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Mr N: wow is that the #2 frame 20? that is one cool gun and that stock makes it even cooler. One fine shooting iron. Is she a no saftey gun to boot or the safety is off just for the picture? Man that is cool. :)

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

Yea, I am a hammer man but have had these hammerless for quite a while. Here is another G Grade 10 gauge Damascus gun in fine original condition, and I promise not to post any more photo's till at least a week!

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

FORGOT TO SAY1 IT NEEDS A CLEANING

[Daryl Corona]

Gary;
That is one beauty of a straight gripped Parker. Where do you come up with these beauties? Are you sure you are'nt having them made by some secret gunmaker down you way?:rolleyes:

Dave;
Nice. Who's doing your work?

[Rick Losey]

and I promise not to post any more photo's till at least a week!

and why would we want to wait a week to see another one :corn:

[Dave Suponski]

Exactly....Gary go find the camera....:rotf:

[edgarspencer]

Damn those are long pipes. Did they sell them by the yard back then?

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

I took photo's all day, cloudy and such made for good conditions, les see, 10g a A grade, ol#97 back action, 12g a D hammer in original case, 12g a C grade w/ 32" Bernard brls, trying to document all my guns, my man cave is a little crowded! to say the least.

[Richard Flanders]

That 10ga looks just like mine but my bbls are 30".

[Dave Noreen]

Craig Libhart is doing my "Big Twenty". Went for the Monte Carlo style to get the higher comb without bending the tangs etc. The original 1889 vintage stock was 2-inch drop-at-comb and 3 1/8 inch drop-at-heel.

[John Truitt]

Mr. Noreen,

So far she looks great. Very cool gun.

[Daryl Corona]

Dave;
You could'nt have picked a better craftsman to do your stock. I'm sure it will be spectacular and I can't wait to see it.
