Love the " looking back birds " on the older GH guns. The resend GH I purchased was made in 29 and fits me to a t. The engraving is nice, but was done by someone who did not do the " looking back birds".

Roger that Dean. It's a grouse/woodcock's worst nightmare of a gun. Little if any choke, cut bbls but letters with the 26". Light. Nice Wood. Made 1918. Dave Miles is likely still in tears from selling it to me. It's a real favorite of mine for sure. I sometimes shoot 24gram 4200psi PB loads in it that generate almost no recoil. I am really going to miss my PB when it runs out.

Richard, is that 79354? I have 79355, the twin to that one. I always wanted to get those two guns back together again.
Oops - it can't be 79354 with a mfg. date of 1918. Plus it is obviously a later gun as evidenced by the later frame filing. This is 79355 in action. My first grouse with a Parker... a long time ago. .

Roger that. It's 180459. Sure is a sweety. I've been tempted to have the barrels spruced up.

The way the early engravers stylized and 'cartooned' their birds, could as well be peacocks, 'flying turnips', and ptarmigan!
