Let’s See Some Dogs:
 

My recent 1903 #2 frame 30” Damascus Parker DH, serial number 120897. Ordered November 3, 1904, shipped November 14, 1904.

Figured I’d use the real thing Boykin and a Border Terrier .

Okay Craig, I love real ones too.

Ok, another 1904 pair of pups on a BHE with the wild quail it just took...and my boy, Prairie Aspen, a 5 year old Gordon Setter.

DH 8 6 frame 34” . And a DH 12 2 frame 32” no safety gun . Would’ve liked to add the DH 16 and DHE 20 but to much trouble to dig them out the safe !

A DHE 30” 16 that was easy to retrieve. Serial number 241198, shipped May 23,1938.
Mr. Gordon’s BHE above is a very special Parker, to say the least. Those 8 gauge Parker’s are a special class too.

My DH 16 is a 32” on a 2 frame about .038” in both barrels , the DHE 20 is a 30” straight grip gun . Matter of fact that little 20’s THE ONLY gun I’ve ever plunked a duck with . Also have a DH 10 32” 3 frame with a not Parker stock that I seem to shoot pretty well but isn’t much to look at . Hopefully by the end of the week I’ll have a 20 32” on an 0 frame but sorry to say it’s just a VH .

Here are a few of my pack.

Dang those setters are BEAUTIFUL !!!

Dan Lefever was a setter man. I've never known him to own a pointer. He did allow the odd pointer on his sideplates though.

Ithaca Gun Company Dogs:
 

Pointer and setter on a 1897 Crass Grade III. The factory letter has been ordered from Cody awhile back, seems like waiting on a slow boat from China.

all great dogs but I seem to lean to lefevers the most....charlie

1907 AAHE 12
 

Pointers and setters

A most desirable Parker with D6 or DD barrels Corey!!

Corey, wonderful engraving. Would that be an early 1900s gun? Circa 1904-5? The setter, especially, appears to be like those from that period's engraver.

I believe he stated in the other thread about the restorations of the gun that it was 1907.

Thanks! You're up too early my friend.:)

The pointers on the action of my gun wasn’t the first time that theme was used. While the birds engraved ahead of the dogs are different, similar pointers/background were engraved on an earlier gun.

Someone on the forum had shared with me this post from 2006. Interesting.

Dog with snipe:
 

1887 Syracuse manufactured L.C. Smith in Quality 3 with 32" Damascus barrels.

I love his renditions of dogs!





.

Not a Parker but some of the nicest and well proportioned dogs I have seen.
Please tap on each picture for best resolution.
I couldn't walk away from this gun despite it having a Cutts installed.
Headed out for a week of Turkey hunting in the morning.
I am hoping to find out who engraved it when I return.

What model and gauge Phil?

More Dogs
 

Unfortunately not a Parker, but the dogs sure get your attention.

And the other is a Parker BHE with a nice reverse 'back' Enjoy, I do;
especially when birds are scarce or old bones needing a rest!!(you can read grouse into that comment)

Won't let me post photos here?? Will try again!

Retry on Dogs
 

Let's see if this gets it done! Absolutely won't post the photos and I was very careful to be a good boy and follow procedure. Sorry! Well I did manage to sort of get it done, but have no idea of how the Parker became inverted. Apparently, one doesn't gain IQ points as they age. Added W.H. Gough signed dog.

Here you go Tom beautiful guns.

My gun is a Model 12 Pigeon grade. Choked WS1 but has a Cuuts installed.
