Hello from Northern Alberta
 
Hello everyone. My name is Ben and I live up in north eastern Alberta.

I've been getting more and more interested in classic American doubles and recently bought my very first Parker. It's a D grade with 28" tubes and it feels very nice in the hands. I think this one will make a prime candidate for a full restoration.

My good buddy Frank has helped me along this road so far and my ultimate goal for this project is to have a beautiful hunting gun for waterfowl and maybe some grouse.

I don't know who in your area does that kind of work but Canada has Chris Dawe in Newfoundland and he is one of the best. Honest , forthright, and professional. He can be reached on this forum. You won't be disappointed.

Chris knows Parkers very well and he is a true master.

Chris Dawe will be the smith I use for sure. My good buddy Frank who is on this board knows him well and he's the only guy I'll call for this work. Thanks guys!

Ben
