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.
