New 3 dog 1889 12 g 1 frame DH

[King Cobb]

Just received this 1 frame DH from Jim Dispagno. This is actually the 2nd such gun I have bought from him both have been good experiences with quick delivery.

Anyway the gun in question is a 12 gauge DH made in 1889. 1 frame with 30" barrels weighing 4lbs 5 ounces. The screws aren't perfect but I am happy all in all. The wood is in good condition except for a few character marks. I may try to clean it up to brighten the wood a little and bring out its character, but don't want to mess up the finish. Engraving seems to be sharp and good, unlike my 1899 DH( also 3 dogs) this one has the name over the dog instead of on the ribbon.

The damascus on this gun is beautiful. I have been told by Jim as well as another PGCA member that they believe the browning to be original.

I put an up close picture of the frame size number on the barrels because it has the exact same little mark as another parker I own. I had thought this was just an imperfection in the metal on that gun, but this one is almost identical if I am recalling correctly. Anyway, enjoy the pics, gonna take her out and put a few RST shells through her tomorrow and that should finalize the deal.
