Crossover
|
they are very real
|
Looks real to me. Probably has gently bent lockplates too. More pictures and a description would be interesting. I shoot a few crossover guns but not a hammer gun. W&C Scott?
|
I would imagine that it would knock your teeth loose
|
I was at Amoskeag Auctions a couple of months ago to pre-view an upcoming auction and there was a 'sinestral' Parker GH 12 ga. in the rack. I have the pictures here someplace.

there was an article in the August issue of the UK's Shooting Gazette about a shooter who lost an eye to a fall - he now shoots one
http://www.shootinguk.co.uk/guns/cro...-shooter-77417 I expect with the right loads they are comfortable to shoot |
Volume 2 of The Parker Story features a sinistral Parker much like the one pictured above.
|
My crossover guns are very comfortable to shoot. My favorite all purpose Parker crossover is a PHE vent rib trap with second set of vent rib bird barrels. It is a retrofit crossover once owned by baseball great, Eddie Plank.

At the 1851 Great London Exhibition, James Fairman, 68 Jermyn Street showed a "Double cross-eyed gun, for gentlemen who have lost their right eye, to be used from the right shoulder and left eye."

The thing about these guns that always amazes me is the metal work in them. Everything has to be bent. The tangs on some of them are just plain impressive. And they look like they were machined that way or specially made and not just simply bent. And i can only imagine the inletting headache.

How about this one? For ambidextrous shooters maybe? Like the case too :)!

I could really screw up the mount on that one!
|
Great to see you hanging out here, John. Yes, they are real and I have even shot with someone who was using one.
|
I'm in love! I need one of those.
|
Dave Fejelline designed a system for himself to shoot right handed with his left eye. Impressive yet very simple.
|
I saw a picture on the forum of Dave using his sight system at a shoot this summer. Looks most interesting.

These are pictures of the GH at the Amoskeag Auction.
Certainly not factory work :shock: . |
I have had several full crossover English doubles and as was said earlier the workmanship in these guns is something to behold. Especially considering the fact that it was all done by hand.
Best Regards, George |
Anyone have a picture of Dave's design?

Here is the "Parker Gentleman" Dave Fjelline at the Spring Southern.

I have been using this system since about 2004. I have used a homemade system as well as one sold by an Arizona shooter. However, I have put them away since I have converted both of my over under competition guns to crossovers. My side by sides are also classic crossovers.
