Hash Marks on VHE Beavertail Checkering

[Thomas Baumgardner]

Thanks for your thoughts. Like I mentioned, I never gave the hash marks a lot of though until I joined the Associated and wanted to learn more about my Parkers. I have reached out to the gun shop where I purchased the shotgun for any history. It was on consignment, I believe as part of an estate. I offered $1,600.00 and was told “the family” accepted my offer. Also, now requesting a research letter that may shine more light on this gun. I plan to leave the hash marks.

I kinda like the slash marks, particularly at that price. Maybe they represent every time he broke a hundred straight.

Or add a few brass tacks and it could be tribal folk art. Or a WF stamp, cut the barrels down and it could be number of completed stagecoach service missions.
