In his book “the biography of a sportsman”, Austin Haight talks about his Parker 20 ga., the apple of his eye.

Garth, thanks. This one is also in my library and about to be pulled out to read.

Stan, I believe the long barrel .410 Merkel was pictured in George Bird Evans' "Best of Nash Buckingham", don't know the page, but the pictures are on just a few separate pages. Probably not one of Nash's guns, no further information. No closeups of the engraving. Probably a dove gun owned by one of Nash's friends.
