Those Remington repair code stampings is another example of Remington repairing Damascus guns.

Sometimes over the years I have wondered about todays setters and pointers. I remember two setters that did not look right neither was their style and the way they carried themselves exactly normal. Many setters on Parkers remind me of them. Believe me they were complete bird dogs in every way. The older male was the best dead hunter I ever hunted over as many times he brought birds to his owner that we didn't know was even hit.. A pointer comes to mind that didn't look normal at all. In fact when I first saw it I didn't think he was even half English Pointer. He looked more like a bull dog. I remember thinking that thing can't be any good.Boy was I wrong. Good Memories. Gerald

That is a gorgeous gun David. What a beauty.

David - thanks for the pictures -

and I'll agree with the rest- beautiful dogs on that one -

heck even the pointer is nice

as for the style of the better done Parker dogs- I expect they had good models, or the better engravers hunted over good dogs.

the look back point from the trigger plates on some Parkers

Yes, very nice dog on the bottom of that gun! How am I not surprised that the matting machine is in CT. New Britain I would assume? ...
