Dean:
The gun is wonderful. But the provenance is as great! Please consider full research and a feature in Parker Pages for this one. Please PM me if I can be of assistance.

Dean,

That is a perfect bird gun. Given its history, it is a gun worthy of The Parker Story; too bad it was not available back then.

The wood is so beautiful I would be afraid to use it in fear of scratching it. Can't wait to see the barrels refinished. Are the chokes and length still intact? As someone wrote before, 20 gauge Damascus is hardly ever seen.

Thanks Jerry - the barrel length and chokes are exactly as stated in the letter (Phew!) and it will definitely be a 'fair weather' bird gun. I truly love these small bore graded Damascus Parkers.

Very nice gun Dean. Though the gun is missing the ssbp, the leather wrapped pad is a nice treatment.

Very nice Dean, it's nice when one gets cleaned up a little and a Swan is uncovered. I look forward to seeing it at the Southern.
