This is the Mrs Howard gun ( PP article) . Note that it was set up for a 2 dram 3/4 oz load.

Christmas present and had to be delivered early.

I don't think I will have more than one Parker by next year. I am done getting guns for the next couple of years.My wife broke the bank when she got me this one.I am very happy and feel blessed just to have this special shotgun.

Wow! My 1877 $50.00 '0' Grade Lifter lettered to the original purchaser. Apparently, that is uncommon for the lowest grades. I am fortunate. It would be interesting to find out a little bit about the buyer. Cheers!
