Quail and woods grouse gun
 

20ga. 24”. Just under 6 lbs.

Bruce, beautiful gun:shock: Are the barrels original length? Thanks, Steve

Would Bruce post a picture of a cut off gun? Of course not. In the book, 24". One great quail gun.

24"
 

Looks like maybe a checkered butt too?!?

Yes. Original checkered butt on a game gun. Only one I’ve seen on a game gun and not the later skeet guns. It’s nice, so are skeleton steel butt plates but they add a few ounces.

Dandy!

Sure is a nice Parker!

I love the POW grip, always thought they looked better than capped pistol grip.

I like that grip too. I have a "half pistol" VH 12 that I purchased from Russ Jackson, and I shoot it great. Back in my live pigeon shooting days, I always shot a "lightening" configured superposed, and the grip always felt good to me. Nowadays, I'm addicted to straight grip guns.

That is a quintessential Texas bobwhite gun Bruce!! Browning, Ithaca, Fox (brush gun) all produced "upland special" configurations with 24" bbls. I have a Lindner Diamond Quality Daly 20 configured exactly like that gun, except it is a straight grip.

Seems like the engraver added a little extra in the way of background engraving behind the dogs. Really nice gun.
