Kevin McCormack once owned a nice 30" DHE or DH 20 with checkered butt. I can't remember whether Kevin pronounced it original or not. It was a very nicely preserved white gun.

Yes it was a DHE 20 straight grip with an original checkered butt. Not all of them changed hands in deals from widow women wearing red shoes - this was strictly an Eastern gun out of VA on the outskirts of the capital of the Confederacy. Run the numbers and go figure.

Robin is correct. I use a word template and use XXX's to denote information that needs to be filled in. The XXX's are in red to bring attention to them. Sometimes in haste, I turn the text all black and don't see the XXX's are still there.

I'm up to 25 letters so far this month and have about 10 more sitting in my in box. 2nd mistake today, I guess I need to slow down and pay more attention to detail.

All it takes is a PM or e-mail if you suspect a mistake.

I agree Chuck.

If someone has an issue with a research letter or perhaps with something in Parker Pages, or something someone on the BOD has said, or for that matter, anything that one doesn't agree with for whatever reason.... rather than broadcasting it for the whole world to see and cause embarrassment to another PGCA Member, please contact the person by PM or email and straighten things out between the two of you without involving everyone else... please.

Mark thanks for mentioning the gun/guns with a checkered butt. I thought you bought one but couldn't remember what it was, I'm astounded I remembered it at all, that was several years ago.

Oh I know. I just have a hard time not saying "you're the one" to Parkers. Tis better to be fickle about grouse than women, and much less expensive as well.

The perfect Grouse gun is as elusive as the winning lottery ticket. What fun would the perfect Grouse/Woodcock/Pheasant/Quail gun be anyway?
I do think that I have come very,very close however the hunt always continues
