The serial number of the first photo posted, ie song birds, etc., is the serial number just before the Browning gun. I believe there were 3 AHs all in a row and I guess built at the same time. Wonder where the other gun is?

Ray, on the photo you posted with the three cranes and fish, do you know anything about the original purchaser of that Parker? That is a very interesting gun.

Information on Mr. Browning's gun was taken from the article in the Jan/Feb 2002 issue of Parker Pages.

Harry, it is one of the guns Charles E Parker ordered in 1890 for show purposes. It traveled to many shows throughout the 1890s and remained in Parkers inventory til around 1900 or so when it was sold for $100-a $200 discount! I have seen one other AH with the same engraving.
PS-I think they are actually great blue herons. |

Thanks Ray, I had not seen that until you posted it. I think it shows off the talents of the engraver. As for the 66% discount, I guess if it was a show gun it probably had some handling marks, therefore, the discount. But it cost less then my CH from the factory.
