Another rare feature of Bob's CH is the checked or etched trigger faces. This trigger treatment was usually only ordered by competition shooters. Judging by the hinged and etched triggers, I'd say the shooter who ordered that gun knew his game well.

Bob, will you show us more of your CH? Do you have a Research Letter on it yet?

All the hinged front triggers that I've seen (not a lot) had checkered triggers front and rear, so I've assumed this was standard for a hinged trigger set.

To Larry Frey below: Damn. I'm told the memory is the second thing to go.

Bruce,
Your memory is getting as bad as mine. Below is a picture of my 20 gage you posted a couple of weeks ago. The triggers on this gun have no engraving on them.

Larry, to me those triggers look to be etched but not checked, but it takes a very hard look . . . maybe it's not so much the memory as it is the eyes

Dean,
Maybe this pic is a little clearer. I can guarantee you the triggers are not etched.

Hey, wait a minute - that looks like Wilbur's Parker . . . I guess the owner of that fine Parker should know what the triggers look like, eh Larry? Did you get it back already?

'bout time you got an appropriate case for that deserving Parker.

(I know, it's easy to spend somebody else's money)

Seriously, congratulations! I'm looking forward to seeing it close-up.
Bruce posted pictures last week so we knew it was close.

A Huey case is fit so exactingly that when you drop the stock into its space, you can feel the air being pushed out. Larry's case, with the brown cape buffalo leather, is elegant.

I do have a letter on it, a G. H. Pumpelly bought it in 01. The order and the many returns don't mention the hinged triggers but do specify a lite trigger pull, 30" flat top rib, 2 3/4 chambers, Lyman sights, Silvers pad, 2 1/4 DAH, 7 lbs. 14 oz. ordered light at muzzle. Mr Pumpelly was liked by PB they discounted his gun from $155.00 to $90.00.

Triggers are knurled or checkered
According to order books it was returned 4 times in 9 yrs.
Gorgeous gun Larry.
