What I enjoyed seeing is that not all of the guns are “perfect”. They have signs of use, some warts and flaws that are all honest. Sometimes you see collections where every gun is perfect and the viewer is supposed to believe that they are untouched.

The quality of the photography really shows the hand made element of the guns, especially in the engraving.

As for Craig's question about Parker guns of interest in the book, I can't get the du Bray BH 28 gauge (straight/splinter, two triggers) out of my mind. Oh, to carry a gun like that after some wild Bobs!

Garry I'm with you brother! The engraving is AAHE'ish. Awesome Parker!
What I like about the AAHE's are the ones with the bold engraving.
