Was this an in-the-white A-1 Special that you engraved Geoffroy?

[Geoffroy Gournet]

Yes , Parker Repro A1 in the white . I think they are called A1 customs , the A1 special being factory engraved . I will post pictures . Time to figure out how ...

Well Greg- there is #53. Our chances are getting better!!!

Not so fast George, I believe it to be a different set of serial numbers for the 28-ga. guns. We're looking for a BHE .410 on a 4/0-frame, right?

It appears that Larry Baer's in-the-white A-1 Special 28/28/.410 3-bbl. set that sold in a Julia auction and mentioned several times earlier in this thread isn't the only such set reportedly made IF the gun that Geoffroy hopefully shows us is indeed S/N 28-53.

Greg- any grade on a 4/0 frame- just added it to my bucket list.

All barrels are for the same gun, the two 28g barrels are marked 00 and the .410 barrels are marked 0000

Posting pics for Geoffroy Gournet of his breathtakingly beautiful engraving that he did on Parker Reproduction S/N 28-53.

I admittedly am a dope - how do 4/0 barrels fit on a 00 frame?

I was wondering the same thing.
