Oh, how could I forget my favorite two barrel set, another DH. It is the "Gold Hearts Gun", displayed some years back on PGCA tables at the Southern Side by Side, and a couple of years ago on the grass with other exceptional Parkers next to the gravel road behind the Parker vs L.C. Smith Challenge field. The "Gold Hearts Gun" is a 1901 30" DH safetyless pigeon gun with factory added 34" Parker Special Steel barrels. It also includes the rare pigeon gun feature of the deleted doll's head extension. It was featured in the Parker Pages where you will have to look to see its unusual factory gold embellishments. I'm trying to find a picture of Annie Oakley shooting this gun, but so far have been unsuccessful. I have to again thank Daryl Middlebrook and Doug Turnbull for helping me to acquire this treasure. Ken Hurst and Dewey Vicknair performed restoration work on the barrels and skeleton buttplate.
