Disappointed we have not had more response!
All mine are already here. And, yes, Bill M, that one with a red pad is a 20 GA Repro with 26" Ic/Mod and 14 3/4" LOP. Bob J |

Although it lacks the museum quality of some of the Reproductions..here is my 16ga in natural light.
Has that beautiful red tone to it & pictures do not do it justice as it’s just gorgeous in hand and has that wonderful feel which is so hard to put into words. The forearm has a particularly attractive marbling to it, but again..difficult to capture in photo. I think this pc exemplifies the importance of face to face interaction because although it appears to be somewhat subdued as compared to many others..the gun is very handsomely attractive. (second photo has reflections in it - not damage) |

How about this Steel Shot Special's wood . . . flowing French walnut obviously chosen for its strength in layout. The beauty here is in its ability to withstand the punishment of heavy 3" 12-ga. loads.
. . . and then imagine yourself in a layout boat out on the bay of Green Bay when the northern flights of Bluebills, Cans and Whistlers come barreling through . . . |

Formerly owned by myself and now in the hands of another family member is this 28-ga. DHE, 26", IC/M, PG, SPL with a SST. A somewhat unusual thing you may notice in this highly fiddlebacked piece of Claro walnut are a few red mineral lines running longitudinally through the length of the stock. (Tip:enlarge the pics to make them easier to see.)

Love that fiddleback. I have to say it is some of my favorite wood. Love the way it changes when you look at it from a different direction.

My Parker Reproduction 12 Steel Shot Special # 70 ordered from John Allen. I have to thank John for picking out a nice piece of wood. I would like to refinish the stock to obtain an oil finish and enhance the depth of the figure, but not sure whether it would affect the value. Jerry
