Perhaps I may be of some assistance.
It's easy, in today's world of easy access internet, to forget that in the Victorian age and thereafter, it was not nearly as easy for the sportsman to access materials of interest.
Many a fine gun, Parkers included, were drilled to allow a stereoscope (see below) to be mounted. To the casual observer, it merely appeared as though the gentleman was out shooting his gun at whatever game was available. No one was any the wiser, no one was offended. But with the stereoscope, one merely needed to insert the desired photograph(s) and one could enjoy oneself afield as we do now in the privacy of our own toolsheds.
