Mike, I believe Brian Dudley already has so I might as well too. He assembled it after Turnbull colored the parts.
Greg, I realized awhile back that I was not going to be able to take anything with me so decided to go out in a blaze of glory by supporting artists like Geoff and leaving something nice behind, hopefully not too soon.

That gun is about as "Early A-1 Special" as anyone has ever seen.

Geoffroy spent a lot of time on this, says he will never do another like it, but was glad for the opportunity. The chiseling is deeper than the typical lily/floral style, edges & tops of vines, leaves, flowers, etc must be rounded, shaped and individually polished.

Thank you Forrest for posting this Parker . Pictures are good and are the only one I will have. The scrolls and leaves are not flat but shaped , you can see the reflection of the light on it , and the back ground deep . It is the first time that I did this pattern in this manner and it was a lot of work compared to regular flat shaded leaves . Brian Duddley ( and Turnbull) finished the gun and send it directly to Forrest . Thank you to the discret owner of the original for providing extra pictures .

Here are some good photos that I took of the gun before I shipped it back to Forest. I blued the barrel sets, guard, buttplate and other small parts along with handling the final assembly of the gun. Turnbull did the Case Coloring and extensive Jeweling work.
