They truly are wonderful Parkers - the pinnacle of expression of 'form following function'.

Triple click on the images for full enlargements.

Dean do you know if the one owned by the Lyman family is shown in your photos and if so which one?

It may have been the 16 gauge (with the lighter wood?) but I don't know for certain.

There are others here who would know and hopefully will come on and tell us.

No doubt they are works of art but a little too gaudy for me. Especially the stock carving. Give me an A-1 Special!
