I’m still haunted by a DHE 12 gauge that came into a local shop for an ejector problem that could not be fixed by the shop. The Gunsmith had deactivated the ejectors. Because the shop owner knew I liked Parker’s I was in the back and got to look at it for about 2 minutes when the owner came in the pick the Parker up. What bad timing. It by far was the nicest DHE I have ever seen. It had a Chiseled full strut gobbler on the bottom.
I should have spoken to the owner, but because I was in my friends shop I was hesitant. Damn I regret not speaking up. The back story was the guy that brought it in had inherited 2 Parker’s and was was having problems with this one. I’m bet the gun is still in Tucson. |

The flying ducks Edgar spoke of. Clicking the image should enlarge it.

Thanks Edgar. Love to see a picture of them. Checked a couple of mine but all I could find were different interpretations of the flying turnips
That gobbler must have been amazing Phillip! |

Ducks and turnips are most often seen on Grade 2 Parkers.

All those ducks look better than the flying turnips on my DHE 16

Any idea who coined the phrase "Flying Turnips"?
