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.
Yikes! How do you get rid of an AAHE 16?
