Post very clear pic of the gun in various areas of interest

Posting these pics for Bill as he was having a bit of difficulty in getting them uploaded. This is the gun he mentioned in his posts...:bowdown:

WOW! That is a beautiful trigger plate. Any chance we could see more of the gun? OO B Grade 28. Just wow.

For what its worth - here is a B grade Single Barrel Trap. No dogs here - or on the A grade SBT - maybe no dogs ever on SBT's ? someone here knows I'm sure.. I learn something every time I post. I also note the Parker Bros in a straight line here vs the version with the bit of a swoop to it.

BHE 28ga
 

5 lbs - 7 oz
January, 1916
2 5/8" chambers x Imp and Mod x 26" (matches letter)
No mention of scroll engraving in letter
Old research that came with gun states: "only 4 made in this configuration" ??
Excellent in as used and well cared for condition
Had restocked, with a blank that I found down at the old Fox factory, to more friendly dimensions of good old American Std 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 14 1/4 x 2 1/2" down pitch with spured BP(exc original stock with skel butt and gold grip cap in secure storage) Photos are of its getting one of many rubbed oil finishes. Sorry no current photos of finished gun and it is currently, down in safe and the old man is just thinking of venturing to the john on his new hip without the walker.

Now weighs 5 lbs - 5 oz and has become one of those 'no think' pointing sticks.
Only problem is: getting too old at 86 in April to do it justice.
But, I am still in the game with my (Wounded Warrior) track wheelchair.

Qualifies for W.O. Odem's; "Ain't no Flies on Dat Summa Bitch"

Enjoy!!

Thank you. What a gun! Here’s to next year’s grouse season and a beautiful trip through the woods!

That's a beautiful gun. Congratulations staying in the upland bird hunting game in spite of limitations. Hang in there buddy.

My 1905 BHE 12 ga has a Monte Carlo comb---is this fairly rare for a 1905 gun? It also has a beautifully checkered butt. Isn't a skeleton buttplate more common? There is no mention in the factory letter about either question.
Your comments are welcomed.

Yes a skeleton buttplate is more common than a checkered butt. And the Monte Carlo stock treatment isn't seen often but there certainly are examples of such. I will say the pattern of the checkered butt is a typical Parker pattern. Letters don't always give the details that we wish they did. Just because the letter doesn't mention something doesn't mean its not a factory original treatment.

All three guns are very nice thanks for posting pictures. BH's are my favorite Parker grade. All mine have the more common dog engraving although the trigger plate engraving is different.
