Yes, definitely Chris. Gun #2 is a "Meridian" gun. An extreme rarity from the pre-transitional phase and on par in value to a half frame. And they say us Fox guys don't know "squat" about Parkers!!!!

Parker no. 1 is restocked and the originality of the skeleton butt plate is questionable.

Parker no. 2 is restocked and case colored in the cyanide method and SSBP is questionable.

Parker no. 3 appears to be an original late Remington Parker and Remington often used higher grade wood and other features on their Parkers and the SSBP is probably original.

I’ll give the guy selling the GHE in Alaska credit for tenacity as that gun has been listed for over a year. Guess he is in no hurry to sell it

I have a delightful little 28" Damascus GHE that letters with a skeleton buttplate and English Walnut. It was shipped to Welsh, West Virginia of all places. When I was a pup, one of the members of my gun club shot an original GHE 12 gauge skeet gun with skeleton butt.

Dean,

I was more commenting on the spelling of Meridian rather than Meriden. I probably should not have.
