In Alberta you hunt Hungarian partridge and pheasant mostly, which is what this guy was into. There are some grouse as well. This guy was a long time serious hunter of birds, his 13 year old black lab met me at the door when I arrived at his house. Next to the fireplace was a 20x30 picture of her with a duck in her mouth. He said the gun came from his close personal friend, an avid collector in Victoria BC and shame on me for not getting his name who passed on years ago. He mentioned the gentleman having many high end Parker's,one even having gold on it as he remembered.
By his answer to the question of how it broke I believe he fell and broke it while hunting, he blamed it on oil soaked wood and deterioration but there is not much oil there. He did not want to dwell on the break so I did not press him.
