Tom,

Thanks for posting the photo of your BHE!

This may be a very unique Parker because the pheasant looks like a pheasant!

Tom, in direct answer to your question whether others have seen that engraving scene, no at least I haven't but I've not seen all Parkers. Not that exact scene, and I would not expect to, as in complex scenes on high grade guns, no two were alike. However, there are other Parkers that have scenes of a hunter and dogs, most notably in some high grade hammer guns. They are uncommon. This is the first I have seen on an internal hammer Parker, so I believe it to be highly unusual and a most interesting gun in my opinion. Not everyone likes people scenes on guns. I am responding publicly because the issue may be of general interest to Parker enthusiasts.

We have mutual friends and our paths will likely meet some day. Moving out of Foxes into Parkers?

Best regards.

Thanks for showing us that Grade 5 Tom.

I haven't seen a hunting scene even remotely like that one - it is quite unique in my opinion. It appears to be from the first decade of the 1900's. Very, very nice.

Thanks again.

Bruce, thanks for the input. Nah, I'm not leaving the Foxes in any way, shape or form... just thought I'd venture into the world of Parker abit.

Kevin...serial number 138,528.

Dean, yes, 1906 & thanks, seems like the "hunting scene" is rather unique as I first thought.

I would think the original buyer may have requested this hunting pattern as the gun works would do most requests on the hi grade guns???
