[QUOTE=Christopher Lien;14469]Bill, you are right... It was early in the morning, hadn't yet had my coffee, I shoulda just pulled the trigger and went straight through the middle of that darned bush... Never underestimate the power of O'l Murph's natural instincts, he always knows how to sniff out those previously banned "Fox's" in the thick BBS underbrush...
 You are also correct about the ceramic collectors, The "Hunter Arms" folks are much more aggressive with their money when it comes to acquisitions of the rare Lenox Vases, pitchers, and other related trinkets... I kinda suspect KBM will not win the bet he proposed earlier on in this thread, would probably be best for him to just shoot that flat of 28ga RST's himself, or hold onto them for a future wager that is more a sure thing...  Over the years I've been continually amazed by some of the prices realized for various old gun company items, and if a guy is not careful he could eventually have more money in early advertising treasures than he does in guns... I wonder how those kind of gun advertising related investments will hold up over time?... Don't let the Clown catalogs get too close to fireplace, and be careful where you display those ceramic Hunter Arms Vases, in addition to being a little spendy, they are also very fragile, no high ledges...  Best, -- Christopher- Osthaus or Percival Rousseau? beautiful indeed- No artist of that Golden Era captured the muscular tension of the details of the dog's feet like Edmund H. Osthaus- now if only he shot Parkers instead of Remington doubles, hey??

I think all Mr. Morin would have to do is post pictures of his high grade Parkers and put a price on them and he would find that all is forgiven..or at least forgotten..for the moment.Life is too short to sweat the small stuff and I can forgive about anything from someone who takes care of his family and is kind to strangers and children when they need help.I still think that somewhere out there is a Parker commissioned trophy or high end award of some kind.

Francis (or RWTF) I, for one, have seen nothing wrong or self serving in any of your posts. I also detect no lack of intelligence or education. Your choice of words and your overall vocabulary leave little doubt as to your ability to more than adequately express yourself (especially for an ex Jarhead) Please keep up your posts. I have enjoyed every one of them.
Best Regards, George RD-2 USN (retired) BTW, Francis Marion is one of my heroes, especially being born and raised in South Carolina. He took his little team of farmers and whipped the stuffings out of the Bloody British. I have been to Snow's Island where his headquarters camp was located. |

Very nice Tom, thanks for sharing the early Parker and Hunter Arms trophies...
Just curious, what are the height/width dimensions on the Parker trophy, and is there anything engraved on the backside of the Hunter Arms Bolo identifying the winner or year presented?... Best, CSL ___________________________ |
