Beautiful gun. But like most is overpriced, in my opinion.

Maybe a little grayhound mixed in there too?

They can't all be perfect. I remember a very well known local engraver telling me about how he had to pick up the engraving on a Parker years ago and one of the dogs had 5 legs.

Probably one of Frederick Anschutz' "decidedly male" dogs

Nice desirable gun. I like the detail on the dog but significantly overpriced with the low condition JMHO.

Low condition, David? The description says 25 to 30 percent color. It must be on the bottom that is not pictured.

IMHO 25% in not high condition so must be low, not no, condition?
