Killer "C"
 
12 Attachment(s)
A lifetime in a duck boat, obviously the bottom of the boat. This gun came in in less than 15% condition. I don't have before pictures due to our policy of not posting customers guns unless requested.
It required every trick of the trade to save it. The unique engraving is what caught my eye, well worth saving.
The case colors, when done the way that Parker did it, add depth and background to the engraving.
30 inch titanic barrels with ejectors and mirror bores. I believe this is what this CHE looked like 100 years ago.

Wow! Really nice job Brad.

I saw that gun before restoration. That is an amazing transition!

Bill Holcombe 08-19-2015 03:23 PM

Gorgeous!

Too bad on the before pictures, always a pleasure to see the comparison.

Nice. I wish it was mine.

Well done Mr. Bachelder!

I assume this CHE was worse than a certain AH I know you are working on!

I can't wait to see your work on that one...

I would have to search my memory very hard to remember another restored gun with the "streak" as good as that one.

Brad Bachelder 08-19-2015 04:39 PM

Ray

The streak and the transparency are exceptional on this one. Good eye.
