Well let me be the first to say, Tell us more!

They are all in original unrestored condition.
The engraving amazes me on these Grade 6 hammer guns. It must have taken literally weeks, many weeks just to engrave them.

The high point of Parker gun art in my opinion! Thanks for posting

The one in the middle for me please.

These are 3 of 8 consecutively ordered A grade 10g. 32" guns. All 4 frame guns. 1883 Manufacture.

6 of the 8 are known of.

Here is another of them. This one falls right in-between the 3 pictured here.

The apotheosis of the Victorian aesthetic, coinciding with the machine age, gave us products like the A-grade 10.

It was a time when our genius-class was concentrating on doing advanced things with metal.

The electronic age has been a great step forward for humanity; and that field may have its own esteemed “Researchers” of vintage devices.

It's all good, but vacuum tubes just don't exude the soul and collector-cachet that is enjoyed by our cohort of outdoorsman.

Another little teaser. Both D6 (six iron crolle)
