Lets see the birds

[Rich Anderson]

Other than the dogs (and they have been let out and are running loose) Parkers other major engraveing theme was birds. Now that we have seen the dogs lets see the birds they hunt.These are from a GHE 16 two bbl set AKA The Hollywood Gun.

IMHO some of the most tasteful engraving on any American shotgun.


Shame 'bout the new fangled barrels though :rolleyes:

[Fred Preston]

C.O.B., I took some not very good pics of that DHE 20 we have been talking about. Here's the floor plate. I'll email the rest to you shortly.

[Dave Suponski]

Birds? We got birds...:)

[Rich Anderson]

GHE 20 Damascuss

[Rich Anderson]

Another GHE Damascuss this time a 16 O frame

1 dh 3 che's 1 bh and 1 ahe

Birds are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chuck brunner]

Rich

Rich's One and Only "Hollywood Gun""

[Rich Anderson]

Chuck I hope Wallace eats that silly hat:) Do I detect damascuss barrels on the BH 12?

[chuck brunner]

Wallace is all about safety and yes those damn damascus barrels:shock:

[charlie cleveland]

another pair of them damgereous barrels shows up...ha charlie

[Eric Eis]

three 28ga's and 2 16's 1 12ga
1 dh 3 che's 1 bh and 1 ahe

Birds are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chuck you stole my bird:rotf: I was just going to post the C grade the last picture Chuck posted..

[chuck brunner]

This is the best c grade gun in the country- owned by a very astute and knowledgeable gentleman that is a fine shot and a good friend! Great Guy Great Gun:bowdown:
Do you remember the "Remington Peters" ammunition Boxes! What a Duck!

[Daryl Corona]

But Chuck, I don't own a C grade.....yet.:)

[Dean Romig]

Wonderful gun Chuck!

By your description of the owner... you must be the owner.

[chuck brunner]

You are too kind dean -- No this old boy is a :shock: gentleman --

[chuck brunner]

Daryl -- I can fix that problem:)

[Bruce Day]

Outstanding C grade, Chuck.

Another Rem Parker, CHE 12/28 SN 241,601.

Sometimes people will contend that Rem Parkers had just the same engraving styles as Parker Bros made guns but the engraving was inferior. These three C grade Remington Parkers shown in this thread , in my opinion, demonstrate otherwise.

[David Weber]

20 ga./26 in. 241985

[Eric Eis]

You are too kind dean -- No this old boy is a :shock: gentleman --

He probably does too much shopping at Chuck's :rolleyes:

[chuck brunner]

Bruce - Great gun -- I think the early high grades and late remington guns are the pinnacle of parker engraving. These late remington C grades are something special. Look at Russ jacksons Che 20ga - just beautiful - Now if I could just convince him to part with it!:rolleyes:

[chuck brunner]

Eric - He's way too smart for that, I said this is a NICE gun!:rotf:

[Rich Anderson]

A DHE 20.

Chuck I await the pictures of my future c grade:whistle:

These didn't come out worth a crap...I'll have to try them again.

[Rich Anderson]

This is a different DHE 20 but a better picture.

[Mark Ouellette]

How about some little birds from a B Grade Lifter?

[todd allen]

I am amazed at the gold birds on the G Grade on page one. My G Grade has winged bowling pins. (I think)

[Rich Anderson]

Todd I call it the The Hollywood Gun because it came from Alex Kerr a dealer to the stars and other assorted well to do's in Beverly Hills, Ca. The gun was ordered through Marshal Field for a Major General William Bradford as a two barrel skt/trap set. Who did the engraveing as its finer than a std G grade is a mystery. This was done towards the end of production and maybe he wanted this combination in a higher grade which wasn't available and this was the outcome who knows but it has all the options available including two BTF's.

This is from a 16ga O frame hammer gun....look familiar Edgar?

[Kurt Densmore]

Early CH 10/12 ga

[Dean Romig]

Kurt - is that a Bernard gun? Both barrel sets?

[Kurt Densmore]

Kurt - is that a Bernard gun? Both barrel sets?

Yes Sir. There are a few pictures of it on the forum. Shot a Turkey with it last spring. Did a little rough shooting (pheasants) with the 10ga bbls a couple of weeks ago. Loaded up a 1 3/8 oz load that Mark O. recommended. The loads worked out really well. Too bad I was too busy hunting to take pictures.

Kurt

[Dean Romig]

I think I know that gun.... did you buy it from the dealer in Rhode Island?

[allen newell]

More Birds - Robert Runge handiwork?

[Dean Romig]

I would say Runge's work for sure.

[Tom Carter]

Allen, Could you post more pictures of this gun? Thanks, Tom

[allen newell]

Tom, there are many pictures of this BHE posted in the members only section. PM me if you need further information.

[Tom Carter]

Thanks Allen. I'll try to find it. Tom

[Tom Pollock]

How about a lowly old LC Smith?

[allen newell]

Not so lowly and not so old Tom. Very nice!

[Rich Anderson]

Tom there is nothing lowly about your Smith, its a very nice gun one to be proud of for sure. Thanks for sharing it.

Here's a FE Fox

Frank, inquiring minds want to know - "What the heck happened to that BHE Repro?" Who would do such a thing?

[Frank CATENA]

Dean from what I was told by the fellow I got it from in a yard sale was that it was the result of a jealous wife!!! Lol ! No he said it was a buy back gun !!! He didn't have any other internal parts just the frame !! I'm trying to figure how to have it welded back up but I doubt it can be done !! Oh yea I also have a DHE 20 repo cut the same way! That one has all internal parts ! I shake my head everytime I look at them !! I ask the same thing who could do this to these guns ! But maybe there is more to the story on how they got there but the law says no ? Asked and they must be destroyed!!!

[Rich Anderson]

Here is a CHE 20

[Craig Larter]

This is not my gun but from CHE 199078

[John Havard]

These photos are from a circa 1904 GH. Not the dreaded flying turnips but I'm not sure what they are.

Prairie chickens??

Are these geese??
http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt113/JCHavard/IMG_4604.jpg

More prairie chickens??
http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt113/JCHavard/IMG_4606.jpg

I thought these birds looked a bit different from the other GHE I have and wanted to add them to the list if birds for view.

[Drew Hause]

Not the Kansas variety :rolleyes:
