Gary, this is an extraordinary piece. This is the only Parker I have seen with a fishing scene and the second one with a boat, this one much more detailed than the Admiral Fletcher gun.

Just being the first 20ga is special and the first $250 grade and then the engraving!

Its wonderful and I hope to see it in person some day.

The engraving looks to be in a European Art Nouveau style.I wonder who could have done it? Beautiful! David

David, At that time period I believe that Glahn would have been the engraver. We see some wonderful and unique engraving in this time period.
