About 25 years ago, David Bichrest, a Winchester collector from Maine, offered a pre-1900 AH Grade 12 ga. with beautiful Damascus barrels with a sea otter floating on its back in a kelp bed, opening a clam against its chest engraved on the floorplate. The gun was purportedly built for a lumber baron in Maine, and if I remember correctly the asking price was just over $2K. He told me I really should own it, but of course I didn't buy it because of those incredibly dangerous Damascus barrels! I certainly hope no one was harmed trying to shoot it!

I've seen that gun, or pictures of it, somewhere and it is a wonderful Parker.
