Default 16g Lifter Action Parker

Bruce: That's the most beautiful Parker (and in that gauge) I have ever seen. The owner must be very proud of that gun. Thanks for posting the pictures.

We'll send a padre over. He's a gun guy and pheasant hunter also.

I have spent many hours studying that gun on the home page identification photos. That gun and one of the C grade lifters exhibit the same, and unique style, on rosettes, Dogs and the circle of arrows surrounding one of the lock pins. These differ so significantly from the rest that it makes me wonder if that was one of the transient engravers, there today, Hew Haven tomorrow.

What an exquisite example, thanks Bruce and Edgar for showing us this gun and bringing a touch of class into the menial lives of we Trojan grade plebeians.

Edgar, I believe that to be an interesting subject and a resident of that area, such as yourself, could investigate and write about it. I have long believed that to be the case with the person(s) who did the C , B and A roundel engraving from 1900-1905, but a belief is all it is. Its hard to find out from here.

I have seen one GH with roundelle engraving. I lost it to a higher bidder on gunbroker about 4 years ago.

Re: the topic gun of this thread... I own the virtual twin of this gun sans the silver crescent and mine is in 12 gauge and is ser. no. 14056. In my opinion they had to have been engraved by the same hand... right down to the rearward facing pointer.

Thanks Bruce for bringing this up again.
