Unfortunately, that was out of my budget. I first saw it at the Fall Southern and it was still available in Baltimore. I was surprised it had not sold. Like Dean says, it was well used, but had a nice patina to it.

I like the early hammer guns, the engraving in that period is just great, Gary

I think Gary's new B 20 has spoiled us for most other engraved Parkers.

![]() I am a big fan of the engraving done on DHs in the early 20s such as this gun Brian Dudley sold. I love the look of the dogs. I would probably have higher grades I liked, but I choose to stick to the guns I can somewhat afford to covet.

My recently acquired DHE 16 made in the heyday of hammerless engraving No. 163160
And if you've ever wondered where the term "flying turnips" came from, the engraving on this floor plate should answer your questions. .

Periods of distinctly different styles of engraving is exemplified here in dogs (decidedly male) attributed to Frederick Anschutz (or someone who studied under his influence)... also on a DH but after about 1920 of so right up to 1930 when Anschutz passed away.
