Morning in the popple
 

Hello everyone. I'm new to the board, as well as being a new Parker owner, so I thought I would introduce myself by posting a picture of my "new" Parker and the first bird I've taken with her.

I had a chance to take her out to a popple (or poplar to those in the rest of the country) thicket in northern Wisconsin last weekend, and had a little luck. Loads of 3 drams of FFg and 1 1/8 oz. of 7 1/2 pattern well, and did the trick on this morning.

The 12 ga. Parker is a grade G hammer gun, with 30 inch damascus barrels, #1 frame, with a serial number of 45,xxx, made in 1885.

Sorry for the low resolution of the picture, but unfortunately the only camera I had on me at the time was my cell phone.

I've greatly enjoyed browsing the board till now, and hopefully I'll have more pictures to post in the future.

Very nice picture Forrest.

Welcome to the forum.

I just returned from the land of the popple. I love it up there in October. Here's a shot of some popple around one of the old iron mines in Itasca County, MN.

Nice pic !

(Brass shells, black powder & an old hammer gun - bless your soul !)
