Is that Runge engraving? What say our experts?? I like that it hasn't spent it's life in a safe. Someone clearly shot it a fair bit and didn't abuse it.

Beautiful piece! Some 108000 later than the one I want, but definately a keeper!!

I would love to read the story on this gun! I wonder where all it has been and what has it done? If only they could talk.

Craig, your story on that wonderful Parker might be very well received by the entire membership as a feature in Parker Pages. Less than half our membership is "connected" via the Internet.

Thank you so much for sharing your very demanding 'charge' today... you must be exhausted.

Craig, It sure sounds like it. Some sort of pigeon/target gun I would think. Just breathtaking....

280/374 = 74.8% 320/374 = 85.6% Those are some might tight patterns.
