Yikes! An honest-to-goodness waterfowl gun.

This photo deserves to be seen "right." (I hope that's okay.)

Hey Kurt!!!..awesome pics and it is great seeing more than two or three. As far as hunting pics go, more is better and love that you are showing the gun, dog, yourself, and of course the ducks. Still using those sweet calls you made for me a long time ago and love the beauty of the wood. I don't understand how you can sell them so cheap unless child labor is legal in Michigan.

According to Nash Buckingham's writings he was using a 34-inch Parker Bros. before the Super-Fox came along. This is the only pic I've seen that shows such a gun but can't tell much of anything from it --

34-inch Parker.jpeg

Nash may be using the 34-inch Parker in those old 1921 Field & Stream movies Dr. Wayne Capooth saved and put out on a DVD.

Is there a 34" Parker on the Bartholomew list? Sorry, I don't remember the gun or its serial number, if it was listed.

Kurt what does that bad boy weigh ? Sorry I just read the letter 8 1/2 - 8 3/4 pounds , that would be a nice weight . I e got a PH 10 3 frame 34” gun that if memory serves is 10+ pounds . That ones a little tiring at a 400-500 bird tower shoot .

Sorry gentlemen. I haven’t turned any calls for a few years. The plan is to get back into it over the next year.

It is right at 9lbs. It is a little barrel heavy.
I have some Parker’s in the 10lb range. It would be a workout shooting a few boxes of shells.
