GH 118172 at the range
 

Chris Dawe and I were chatting some time last summer and he told me about a GH he saw at a dealer that might be worth looking at. I am sorry I don't have the original pictures from the dealer but man did the gun look like a POS in the listing. He saw something in the wood and said "you ought to buy that gun" and have me refinish the wood, it has something hiding underneath all the grime, dirt and grease. Well I bought it and had it shipped direct to Chris so he could clean it up to its former glory. The wood was a MESS, butt plate broken, barrels needed some extra special love with a hammer/dent remover and the pattern brought out. "But the screws", the screws were all beauties!!! Case colour is nicely present on the sides and bottom. Its a 1 1/2 frame 30" with excellent shooting dimensions. It is hell on skeet targets but there must be something wrong, it will only break 19 of 25 into real small pieces.

FYI, Chris does not do damascus refinish I want you guys to know unless its for himself since he is still perfecting his technique, he did me a favour.....no favour here as you can see, they are fantastic!

I can not get a picture to load right to save my 4$$!

what a great piece of wood..i have aparker lifter gun that looks like your wood except mine is still under the dirt and grime...anyway you sure have a nice gun....charlie

Very nice!

I'm constantly intrigued by how nice the wood is on some GR-2 guns. Yours is definitely one of them. For a gun you initially thought was a POS you really lucked out.

Very nice, I would love to own it !! Thanks for sharing it here!

Damascus G's are one of the great values in high quality guns. I have one very much like this one. Nice gun.

It's a beauty dang. Nice find

That gun rack scares the $h1t out of me. I'd be very leary of placing a plastic Mossberg in it let alone a Parker.

Great GH, Am always surprised by some of the very nice wood on the G Grades.

I have a 6#10oz 26" #1-frame damascus GHE12 that has wood similar to that. It's gorgeous little gun that carries like a 16ga. Great little grouse/woodcock gun in hvy timber and brush. I could depart with a number of Parkers, but that one would be tough to let loose of.

A couple more pictures of the wood since it is pretty darn nice.

Wow, beautiful!

The Canadian Wood Wizard worked his magic once again. That's as nice a piece as you'll find. You're lucky!

Wow what a nice gun with an exceptional piece of wood. Thanks for the close-ups.
