DH Restored

[Mark Ouellette]

This 1890 DH Parker was a near total loss when Brad Bachelder received it on a trade. As a personal project he restored it after spending his days on paying projects.

The DH is a 12 gauge with 30" Damascus barrels on a #1 Frame.

This DH sat in Bachelder's show rack for a year or so as example of his restoration work. In a moment of business weakness I convinced Mrs. Bachelder, their sales manager, to sell me the showpiece DH at a fair price.

I love the soft, warm colors that change in hue and tone with every flicker of light.

Mark;
You're killing me with all these damascus beauties. Thanks very much for all the great pics. Happy New Years.

I have a 1-Frame GH with 30" barrels that was restored that looks very much like yours Mark. Dave has seen it... unfortunately, it now has issues since I fell with it :eek:

Hey Daryl,

You better keep your nitroglycerin pills for your heart in arms reach... We are having fine nor'eastern storm in southeast Michigan so I may be house bound for a day of so. There may be a neglected vintage double or two in my safe...

PS: Most of my photos are shot with a Nikon D200 and 60mm Micro Nikkor lens.

Ho, ho, ho,
Mark
