How 'Bout a Nice Pair?

Here's one

And here's the other


SN 36491. If folks are curious about a matted rib on an 1885 gun, it went back to Parker in 1887 and had the rib matted. It was a New York Salesroom gun until 1902.

Geze Bruce suppose you got Uma Thurman sitting in a arm chair watching also. Thats 1 nice Parker!!!!!!!!!

[Matt Michael]

wow what a nice Parker. Ive been to two gun shows this year and only found 5 or 6 parkers at each show. None was even close to what you have.

[Bruce Day]

I don't mean to imply that I own the pair. I enjoy some vicariously.

Unless a person stumbles across a nice Parker at a local gunshow, a person has to go to where known Parker people are. There were many nice Parkers at the PGCA annual meeting at the fall Louisville KY gun show. If you are seriously after finding a nice Parker, say where you live and people will recommend sources and shows to you.

Or maybe something like this:

Thanks Bruce, for showing us those two nice Bernard barreled Grade 4's

Bruce,

Thanks for the pictures of the hammers guns. That's a nice pair for sure.

I like the last picture also. I'd sure like to fondle that rack.

I don't know why members refer to seeing a shotgun "in person," assign its gender as "she," and use "fondle" which means to "toy amorously." Help, please.

[Dean Romig]

It probably started in colonial times when the British musket was known as "Brown Bess" and Davy Crockett named his flintlock "Ol' Betsy".

You certainly can see a gun in person, as opposed to seeing it in a magazine or on the internet. It's you that is in person, not the gun itself.
