Default BH 86227 nursed back to health.

I came across 86227 a few weeks ago on line with a poor description and in its current dirty state. I could not make out a lot of details of the gun but could see the 3 stags, double doge on each side, some kind of runnin critter on the trigger guard and birds on the breaches. You all know I am a sucker for a project, diamond in the rough kind of guy. The barrels looked fantastic and I could not make out much damage to the wood. Also, clean screws are a sign of a good project. I made myself believe that if the barrels were that nice outside there had to be some condition overall.

The letter is quite nice and refers to the oval in the stock side and another set of 26” 3 blade Damascus barrels that where lost in time (I would love to find a set to bring it back together if you can help).

Brian Dudley received the gun Monday and started the tear down cleaning process. He said it may not be the filthiest gun he has dug into but it is close. To get the barrel off he had to take the receiver apart to give you an idea of what he had on the bench. It is a 1 1/2 frame and everything is as solid as can be. Here are a few pics and Brian or I will add some later when it comes back together with a replacement Silvers pad.

Nice shot of a b4 and after on a corner of the FA to see what was under the gunk and the stock after an alcohol cleaning.

Thanks Brian Dudley and I owe you a few good cigars for this nasty thing!

Have a great weekend Parker friends!
