Default How 'bout some 28s?!

Sorting through some photos and came across this. I love the 28, and in whatever form it takes. These are several from the safe.

(From the top: 24 inch MacNaughton, 28 inch Watson Brothers, 28 inch Holland and Holland, 26 inch Thomas Bland)

You need a Parker 28.

Ha! I have more 28s, including a nice little DHE that fits me well and has taken wild Bobs on special occasions.
