Default GH(E) Parkers

These GH parkers are 16 and 20 gauge guns. The top gun is a 28" damascus 16 GH that fits really well and is a great rooster gun. The GH Roundel engraved gun has been discussed here before. The 20 GH is a 30" steel barrel gun that is choked tight for doves and pheasant. The two barrel set GHE is 20 and 16 damascus with 26" barrels. It has taken some time to accumulate these and some needed work, but all are good shooters. These guns were all made before 1910. I am partial to the g grades as they are not over the top but nice enough for me.

Tom: I like the Roundel example, has another example surfaced?

Craig - To the best of our knowledge this is the only example of a GH with the roundelle style of engraving that has ever surfaced.

About 12 years ago Tom and I were competitors bidding against each other on this unique Parker.
If my memory serves me correctly Tom has given me first refusal should he ever decide to part with it.
