No, I think Bruce is just a little bored today, and decided to post pictures of his GHE for all to see. |

Nice! Great wood for a G. Are you proofing it with the ammo in the picture?

Just trying to get people back to Parkers. I liked Dean's wabbit hunting pictures, nice sporting subject. This isn't any kind of special gun, and it may encourage others to post pictures of theirs and participate. Like instead of thinking what did he post a picture of that plain gun for, maybe they think let me show mine and they post pictures.
I have plenty of work to do, like to take a break once in a while. |

Nice gun Bruce. I really like the wood on most G grades. Seems it all has some decent burl or flame.

Lots of nice guns out there Richard and I think people like to see them, so I post pictures and hope it encourages others to do the same and maybe it urges them to get one or another one.
Years ago when I acquired my first and before Al Gore invented the internet and before there were these books about Parkers, I didn't even know what a high grade Parker looked like, and thought my little P grade was pretty fancy. Today its so easy for others to see hundreds of Parkers, know the details, know that they are useful today, and so by posting pictures of useful and decent Parkers maybe in a small way we keep Parker interest strong. |

Here's my Oscar Gaddy GH which I bought from John Swindell at the Sanford event a few years ago. John got it as a project gun and had Oscar and his wood man (Washburn I think) completely refinish it, lock, stock ane barrel. I think John got his investment back. It's a #1 frame 28" 12 choked .009 and .032; a great grouse and all around field gun. Oscar covered it with his "preservative" varnish which sort of hides the work he did. I'm tempted to remove it; so what if it fades, I'm kind of fading too. Sorry for the crummy photography.
