"Looking back bird" and "looking back cow elk." I know they are probably a European Stag and his harem, but it is an American gun so they are Wapiti.

That is indeed a nice one. Sooo much better than the bland banknote realism of today's engraving.

It's a very interesting gun in my opinion. According to the letter it was in the 1897 MSG show but is not listed in the TPS as a show gun. After the show it was sold to DuBray who kept it for 2 years. In 1905 it was returned to Parker to reduce the drop at comb and add a Silvers pad. When I got the gun it was very dirty, tarnish on the action and a couple of bad spots of the barrel from poor storage. Breck re-finished the barrels and that where it sits today. Chokes .035/.034, 1 58" x 2 3/8" x 14 5/16"x 7lbs 15oz. I love the gun and shoot it well.
