Parker Grips

[Bruce Day]

Its a dent.

The rod is a 1934 Parker-Hawes. Approximately 230 were made through the association of Charles Parker and Merritt Hawes, son of Hiram Hawes, grandson of H L Leonard. They were intended to be the A-1 Special of rods, and by reputation are. They cost the same as a D grade shotgun.

Bruce, in the fourth photo, the size of the checkered diamonds on the shooters left side of the grip (rt. side of photo) appear to be much smaller than the other side. Is this an optical illusion or are they actually finer? Is the stock set up set up with cast off? Thanks for more great photos.
