Default Randy Roberts’ Critter Gun

Randy, that is one magnificent Parker ! I truly enjoyed your all-too-short article in the current issue of Parker Pages. I could really spend some time with that beauty and a magnifying glass.

I was looking for the tiny “H Gough” we see all too frequently on guns we suspect may have been masterfully engraved by him. Have you found any such indicative scratching on 117433 ?

Congratulations brother!

Thanks Dean. I studied the pics for a signature to no avail.

Randy, did you look in the orbit of the trigger guard floorplate screw well? Sometimes signed there but you have to remove the guard or at least unscrew it enough revolutions to see the initials or name in the rim of the well.
