Re-joined PGCA after numerous years. Life got in the way.
I was gifted my Parker from my father about 40 years ago. He and I hunted with it for too many years to count.
Not fancy, but a beautiful 12 Ga.
It is "PH" grade. Serial #71360
Made: Sep 17, 1894
Damascus, 30" BBL

Going to get it out and do some quail hunting this new year. Live in Montana, good place to hunt.
Good to be back.

I picked up two L. C. Smiths -- a 26 inch 1903 3E 16 gauge and a grade 4 12 with what I believe is an original skeleton steel buttplate. A Parker C grade 12 hammer gun and CHE 16, both with Bernard Steel barrels; a VHE 2 frame 30 inch, straight/splinter gun from 1912; a BH 12 straight/splinter from the 1890s; and a Quality U 12, also with straight/splinter and 30 inch barrels. Two Rook Rifles (one a Holland and Holland) rounded out the year. Working on fulfilling my promise to my wife to scale back the buying next year.
