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

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.
