There's only one thing I could imagine being better than a printed image of an "ornate shooting trophy" in a 1892 F&S publication, and that would be an original old photo from the same time period showing an early (identified) live bird shooter standing with his long barreled Parker next to an identical "ornate shooting trophy" he had won in competition... What are the odds of such an interesting and unique old Parker related photo like the one I've described actually surviving the test of time and still being around a 100+ years later?... Probably about the same odds as finding Jack Fanning's long lost Parker/Curtis Try-Gun hidden under the mattress of an old gun hoarding curmudgeon in the Maryland area.
... Some folks might consider the above statement a long-shot, but those in the know would call it a sure-thing when making a serious money bet...
Best, CSL
