I noticed that also, but it's hard to imagine (not being a wood guy) how there's enough wood in a Fleur-De-Lis to get a drop point, unless it was taken deeper into the stock.

The seen on the trigger plate reminds of Winston Churchill's bronze of "Masters Reward". He used my friend Rich Frutchy's setter and a grouse ,that I do not recall were he got the grouse, to produce the bronze wax model. Regardless, this a is spectacular A that anyone would be proud to own.

Congratulation on your purchase and thanks for sharing.

I suspect it was moved up. See how far away the checkering border is from the point. It ahould be tighter.

Dave,
this is truly a unique Parker, and on these high grade guns I think there could be a number of requests that could be made. I have never seen a gun this late with the gold covered half pistol grip. I have a feeling that this gun was for a Parker family friend, A prize for a shoot, of a exhibition gun. It is way beyond standard engraving. Thank you for the photo.

Is the panel on the trigger guard bow really blank, or has it been photoshopped out for some reason?

The panel is blank, and unaltered.

The points on the subject AH are more like those seen on British or European guns, not D or C grade points... although I know of one Parker DHE 28 gauge that has these points by special request. I don't think the owner will mind if I post this picture of his.

Quail and ducks on the sides and what looks like a Britney to me on the bottom! This is a fine fine gun! Congrats its a beaut!

[B. Dudley]

Dean, that is why i said they are similar to d or c points, but still not correct for that even. Photos are a little hard to tell. The view from the bottom shows some odd shaping around the points. Also suggesting alteration.

The dog on the bottom is a Springer, the ears are too long for a Britt. Brittney's were not brought into the USA until 1934. This gun is 1922.
