Show Guns guns would be an interesting theme for a display. I am lucky to own a 1897 and 1904 example. It would be a real treat to compare guns from the same show.

That parking lot Social hour turned into a fabulous Show ‘n Tell where all manner of some great Parkers, some Fox’s and I think a Smith or two were pulled out of cases and shared with the gang. Some really nice guns were passed around. It sure was a highlight for me. Thanks Gents.

Bill if I remember correctly you had a few nice guns for the show and tell to....

My favorite engraver is Jacob Glahn with Harry Gough a very close second. Even though the styles of engraving are very different. Great topic!

I missed that Bill. Where did that happen, down closer to the gate?

Dean it was about half way up the parking lot along the woods. I also got to look at Marks AHE and his DHE 32 inch 20. Some very nice guns came out of vehicles.

I'm really sorry I missed it.

Dean:

Very nice double roundel. Is that the "B" grade that was alluded to earlier? The rear dog looks like the "C" grade from the second post. I would venture a guess that they were the same hand and done in the same time frame.

It is a BHE Michael, but is not the same gun. I like the other side of this BHE even better than the right side that I posted. It belongs to a good friend.

Sam Ogle had this 12ga A for sale a few years back. I didn't buy it but thought hard about it. I like this gun a lot as it is a one-of-a-kind and nicely done. I'd really have liked to be in on the conversation that took place with the engraver when it was ordered.

The old hammer guns get my vote .

Thanks Greg- very different!!

I'll bet a lot of us went right to our ID & Serialization books when Greg posted that one - but it truly is a AHE 12/30" with straight grip. VERY unusual engraving, and very nice!

I think that would be a great theme for the "People's Choice" exhibition at the Annual Meeting in Vegas.
Personally, I would not entrust my high-grade Parker with airline "baggage" but instead, I would ship it in advance to an FFL in the area - not as a transfer but as if it were going for repair.

Is there such a dealer in Vegas who would accommodate this?

Dean I feel the same way I would not trust my guns to airline baggage even though they are insured. I would like to participate in Vegas if a better shipping option was made available.

It was priced at $17K which I felt was a pretty fair price at the time.

George M. Purtill

Dean's idea is perfect. I would have to pay $35 each way for an extra checked bag anyway.
Can we get some ideas for FFL dealers in the Vegas area?
I would volunteer to make a group deal.
