The Dunkle AAHE was pictured in DGJ maybe 10 years ago. It is the only known Parker with finger grooves. I had the pleasure of shooting it in Nebraska about 7 or 8 years ago, but not the pleasure of carrying it, while pheasant hunting and BD ( Before Dunkle) . At over 8lbs it was not designed to be a game gun.
I believe I am correct in remembering that it is the first Parker Pigeon grade gun. This was John's grandfather's gun and those of us who were present when John first saw the gun again after many years apart will never forget the moment and our joy for John.
