The back cover photo of Jay Gardner's "Tess" isn't too shabby either, could have been the centerfold.

agreed - I love that picture, it is one of the all time best setter photos I have ever seen. I would like to have a print to frame.

Craig, as I recall, one of Fred Gilbert's competition Parkers is in the collection of an obscure stockmaker from Maine, named David Trevallion. It was displayed in the Gold Medal Concours at Millbrook a few years back. I believe that gun was also written about in some publication a few years back.

I'll have to ask David about that Gilbert gun the next time I visit with him. I haven't seen it in his shop where I believe all of his guns are.

I know David had Gilbert's B grade and that it was for sale.
