Am I behind the curve, or is my new crossover gun being ignored? Maybe its progress is being pictured on another thread?

:duck:

I plan on snapping a few photos of the crossover gun tomorrow, as long as the sun cooperates! My flash photo skills leave something to be desired.

Here are a few photos....

The P.B. stamped into the inlet in the stock for the trigger guard is likely the mark of stocker Pearson Bannister.

I've never seen any evidence that Parker Bros. felt the need to identify a stock as being from their shop.

By the way, Mark did agree to sell me the Puglisi crossover NH 10 several years ago and it is a highlight of my shooting collection. I believe he posted pictures of its restoration in another thread. It is not a #6 frame, and I am thankful for that. The negotiations for that gun started with my "Last Midnight Phone Conversation" with Jack P. before his death. After a bit of a chase, Mark let me purchase the great ten.

That is a nice crisp example of Bannister's mark.
For more on Bannister, you can read my article on him in a recent issue of PP.

Incidentally, the 0 stamped into the trigger guard inlet identifies it as being for a Grade-0.

Which it happens "not to be". It is a Grade 1, which, when stocks are considered, are the same as a Grade 0. Thanks for the stockmaker info, Dean.
