No Mills - I had no reason to photograph it in the condition it was in.

Dean take her int the coverts that's what Parker made it for. Whats a few scratches? They add character and stories. I can see it now, your at Grouse Camp and your grandsons asks "Grampy why does the stock have that big scratch?" The reply is "Well Jr I was fighting the brambles trying to get through as the the dog (I know you don't have one) was solidly on point for 5 min and time was running out, that bird wasn't going to hold all day. There was an old bard wire fence I didn't see and one of the barbs caught my Filson pants and as I fought my way free I lost my footing on a moss covered rock. As I fell the bird flushed and I got off one hurried shot but the gun landed angainst that damn fence and thats how the scratch got there". "Did you get the bird Grampy"? "No I didn't but I'll NEVER forget that bird".

Somehow, the "Gallant Grouse" that seem to elude us are the more memorable. We doff our hats to them and swear out a vengence against them for the next time we are brought together. There are literally hundreds at whom I have sworn time and again.... a vengence, that is...

And, Yes, I will shoot (at) grouse and woodcock with this great little Parker. And I will think of Adm. Perry when I bring it and try to imagine what his hunts must have been like... If only these old guns could talk
