BHE 20 GAUGE
 

Well, sometimes you just leave your blinders at home, this happened to me on Saturday at the Southern, It sure is not a hammer gun but could not resist! BHE 20 Gauge 32" Acme brls a few photos, Gary

BHE
 

A couple more, letter specs no animals rose & scroll only

Wow that's one attractive gun, with 32" barrels and single trigger to boot.

Wonderful BHE Gary. It looks a lot like a certain AAHE 20/28 two-barrel set I know of.

Do you have a letter on that gun yet? I would be interested to know if the original buyer was one H.A.B.
He ordered the AAHE with no game scenes but only with 'rose & scroll' "like the B."

Gary, I missed you but I heard the story about this. Apparently the gentleman was extremely proud of this gun, if his initial pricing structure was anything like the "sailboat" hammer gun!!

Beautiful gun Gary. With BHEs like that, who needs AHEs.

Very classy gun

I consider myself lucky to have held such a wonderful gun. That would be my Holy Grail of Parkers for sure. What a great clays gun that one would be and if one was a water fowler I'm sure it would be right at home in the blind.

It was nice to put Gunner's and Mattie's guns together. Two very special guns for very special friends.

Rich, I will call Mike to see if he will post the photos of our furry friends guns, Gary

Gary, will your letter show who H.A.B is? I can think of a couple of possibilities. I also know of at least one local B Grade in that serial range with no animals or birds, only scroll and roses on the floorplate. Is that a late Miller trigger on Gary's gun?

Bill, my letters for the other two guns give his full name.

Dean, The letter says gun was ordered by H.C.Galeker Co. San Francisco Jan 1918, Arthur duBray was the salesman. The letters "ERC" were engraved in the shield, floral and scroll engraving price 185.00 plus 5.00 for pad, Gary

Thanks Gary - That's about the nicest California duck club gun I've ever seen!






.

Thanks, Gary. I wonder if the initials refer to any known duck hunter of the time?

one nice gun...and those long 32 inch barrels just really get me going...the fellow that done the engraving on this gun was surely a master....charlie.....

I wish I knew what the initials stand for? , maybe research CA shooters? Gary

Gary, can you make the ERC into an EBC? Is is quite legible. I have an EBC for you.

Bill, I doubled checked the initials are "ERC", who was "EBC", The gun was made for someone or else the initials would not be on the stock, Gary
