The inlays on my 5E Knick are silver I guess. According to Walt Snyder it went to Phil Bekheart in San Francisco in 1929.

Thought I would post some pictures of my 7E while I try and cool off from the heat.

By the way, I was noticing the difference in trigger guard shapes on your two 5E's. Anything about that you'd care to share?

I missed the shape of the trigger guard completely. I do know I was intrigued how the trigger on the upper gun is engraved/knurled from edge to edge, perhaps requested by the original owner, or changed by a later owner? I was too busy comparing the engraving and the shapes of the birds, I’ve found subtle differences but they look to be by the same engraver. The one difference I picked up on is in the border, was this perhaps done by an apprentice or junior engraver and then the birds done by a senior engraver? Stan |

Mr Hoover, VERY cool gun. I’m no expert, but have never seen a similar grip on an Ithaca SBT. Another beautiful custom job from Fall Creek! Enjoy. I just picked up a 4E NID from a collector (not shooter) that is in beautiful condition. Nice picture of you and my friend Craig Larter on the Parker pages!
Best, john Wayman |

Walt Snyder informed me that a soft pencil eraser will shine up the gold and silver inlays without damaging them. I tried that on my 7E Flues SBT and was amazed how the inlays really popped afterward!!
