Wow those are some beautiful straight gripped guns!!!
I need a good picture of all of mine together as well. I have noticed that my straight grip hammerless inventory is dangerously low. It was much more common to see hammer guns with straight grips. Here are a few of mine:
1. 20 Gauge VH with 30" barrels (this is one of my favorite Parkers)
2. Parker #0171 12 gauge with 26" barrels likely cut from 28" (It is a fun to shoot this early Parker)
3. This is relatively early TA 10 gauge hammer gun with 30" twist barrels on a #2frame I took with me on a Tundra Swan Hunt.
4. 10 Gauge Model 1873 Remington Whitmore (I love this design and have ben looking for one in 12 gauge)
5. A 12 Gauge Lefever G grade with 32" star/flag patterned damascus (this has been my "new" trap gun)
6. A Parker 10 Gauge DH with 32" Damascus barrels on a Sandhill Crane Hunt last year
7. Last but not least, is my #3 frame 12 gauge Parker Lifter made in 1893 with 32" twist barrels, it weighs exactly 10lbs. As far as I can tell from a good bit of research, this was the last straight gripped lifter Parker made.
