Back in the mid 1970's, I was able to meet the acceptance of a high end collector of some of the best side by side shotguns imaginable including Parker, Fox, L.C. Smith, Syracuse Lefever, etc.
And luckily, I purchased some very nice high end Fox's from him as Fox's were my primary collecting interest.
An unfortunate event occurred in his life when his wife died. He sold his collection to a high end dealer who purchased all but one gun, a damascus barreled Parker.
Back then, 1981, damascus barreled guns were not popular and I'm thinking that's why the dealer didn't want it.
So, I bought it.
An AAHE 16 gauge, SN 112920, that in addition to having the owners name "Terrell" engraved on the gold grip cap, his name was repeated many times in the damascus pattern on the barrels. The Terrell gun.
Unfortunately, I don't own it anymore.

We know the gun Bill - one of the most, possibly the most, unique and amazing Parkers ever made.
