Thank you Rich ,We all know a lot of the fun is in the Hunt ,I really get a kick out of locating a Parker ,This particular gun was found by a phone call from a friend who said his Father went to preview an antique auction and said ,Man you ought to see the gun there ,some kind of highly engraved Parker ! It was the only gun there ! It was about 60 Miles from me ,but I made a Bee Line the day before to the preview and decided to go on Saturday to the auction and see what happened ,I am glad I did ! Now ,how about a few pictures of the transition gun ,I would like to take a look at her and I am going to miss the Southern !
