Default Let's see your GH(E) Parkers

I enjoyed Mills Morrison's multi part article on Grade 2 guns in PP very much but the small pictures published in PP are hard to see any detail. As Mills pointed out there are many differences in Grade 2 guns. So let's see pictures of your Grade 2 Parkers.
Here are my two, a GH 8ga circa 1912 and a 1907 GH 1 12ga frame.

The pictures don’t give the most detail , but my hands are kinda tied at the moment with what’s on my phone . The gun in these two pics is a circa 1889 EH 10 gauge 2 frame with 30” barrels from an November tower shoot .

Garry: Your 20ga Damascus GH is so sweet, what a great gun!! It looks like both birds are looking back that's unusual. I'm kinda surprised that my 8ga GH has waterfowl on all three surfaces. So many variations

Default GH(E) Parkers

These GH parkers are 16 and 20 gauge guns. The top gun is a 28" damascus 16 GH that fits really well and is a great rooster gun. The GH Roundel engraved gun has been discussed here before. The 20 GH is a 30" steel barrel gun that is choked tight for doves and pheasant. The two barrel set GHE is 20 and 16 damascus with 26" barrels. It has taken some time to accumulate these and some needed work, but all are good shooters. These guns were all made before 1910. I am partial to the g grades as they are not over the top but nice enough for me.

Tom: I like the Roundel example, has another example surfaced?
