Cow Gun
 

Well while I am doing nothing I thought I would show you the cow gun, it is most unusual in the fact that it is signed by the engraver! which you seldom see, the first photo shows the trigger guard with his name in the right corner on the trigger guard, why the cow who knows? If I have shown this before I apologies, and again they are large so one or two at a time

Wow!:shock:

Just like the chicken gun the engraving is so detailed something you don't see in later guns. These two gun you almost have to take a magnifying glass to so that you can see how fine the detail work is...Beautiful guns

See if I can do it again

double click for enlargements, I would sure like to know why the cow? maybe a dairy farmer?, Well it just adds to the mystic of the Parker Gun never say never! Gary

a dairy cow pointing what seems to be a snipe but maybe a woodcock

there has got to be a story behind that

oh well- as long as her name wasn't Elsie :rolleyes:

Wow Gary, you really can find them! Why a cow? Looks to me to be a bull, maybe it was his prime breeder. As far as the bird, I've shot many a woodcock along the edges of pastures. Keep those beauties coming.

Bulls don't have udders where I come from

Now a days. Not that there's any thing wrong with that

Oops! Missed the udder. Of course the bovine could have been well endowed.:shock:

I've heard of pointing Labs. Probably a pointing Holstein.

Sure Daryl... with four penises...:bigbye:

It's a pointing cow. Bred for superior nose, predator drive, and steadiness to shot. Advantages over a dog would be; runs on available grass commonly found in the field, hunts close, and gives milk.

Extremely nice!

My Wife and I were over to Great Falls a week or so ago to the C.M Russell Museum. There was a whole room dedicated to paintings and sculptures of prize Bovines that their owners had commissioned. Perhaps some dairy farmer wanted his prize milker depicted on his bird gun.

Wonderful Gary. I love Jacob Glahn's work.

Classy pointer, but does she retrieve to hand?

I think I would have the barrels with the steers head fitted to that frame.

Mike the barrels on this gun are DD, the steer gun are grade 2 damascus, Gary

Beautiful gun Gary.

Best regards,

Jeff
