...

This is a baker "C" grade that I am trying to purchase. I do not own it yet, but your welcome to this picture. I am pretty sure there is a setter on the other side too. Will have to check.

Here is my L.C. Smith grade 5 that was engraved by Glahn, the gun was for Milton Lindsley.

Here is one of my My Setters engraved on a 240,000 Era Serial # CHE 20 , and What she is Pointing !

That's a showstopper! Barrel wedges also! Do you believe/know this to be Runge?

Yes all the " Professional Parker Collectors " who have seen this gun in person believes this to be Runge Engraved ! Thank You for the Nice Compliment ! It has a very different style of Checkering but has the correct stamping and serial# under the Trigger Guard ! Pretty unique gun !

....and it's my favorite ever CHE 20.

Not trying to side track the tread. I think that's maybe the best Setter I have seen from Mr Runge. I have seen a wonderfully well done upgrade that the same Mr Runge signed, but it, as I recall had no dogs. Wonderful example, thanks for sharing.

Thank You Brett , if you are interested you are welcome to go to my Home Page on our Forum by clicking on my Name and take a look at the album of my BHE 410 Upgrade which was a Runge /DelGrego Upgrade and signed by Robert Runge on the bottom of the receiver !

Who would have engraved the dogs on my 1887 Parker top lever in the first photo?

Legh,
These are singles from a C grade. I believe my B has dual setters but will have to look tonight.

Setter from a Parker Reproduction DHE

Ithaca 4E 20 gauge

bottom and side of my 3 dog DH, side of grade 3 Ithaca Flues,

This batch has a B, C, and two D's.

My 1907 AAHE 12

I think it is interesting that the engraver on the parker obviously had the same dog in mind, and chose to SLIGHTLY change scenery, and change the pups position.
The Ithaca is a pretty scarce bird, a grade 3, 12 bore flues cannon breach waterfowl gun, straight stocked in Really nice Circassian, on a 10 gauge frame with factory 3” chambers.

A fabulous Parker Corey!





.

I guess I have really gone to the dogs. Enjoy seeing all of them!
I wonder how much time the in house engravers would have been allotted for each grade? Has anything been recorded, or reported on that aspect?

Not that we know of Brett.

Here is my 12ga #3 frame setter.

Here is a single. I have a pair of Setters that I will get up ASAP.

Hmmm... a setter on the left - That’s very unusual.

Looks like it was engraved by the same hand that did Craig’s, Larry’s and one of the ones I posted.
Very nice!





.

Thanks Dean. This gun has lots of abnormalities!

Some day I’ll have a Parker with a setter!

Those Ithacas do a pretty good job representing Shawn!

AAHE
 

In addition to the two setters and duck, this gun’s got a pair of pointers, a quail, three foxes and a dove. Feeding is costing me a fortune.

Here are the Setter pairs-
