That stock is in the traditional style of the day. The only thing I would question is the strange trigger guard strap..... Get a Research Letter on that gun - it may just hav been ordered that way or returned for that modification.


A stock of mine which is also a gun of that particular era. Note the similarity in the nose of the comb.

Next is a wonderful example of what Parker Bros. would do to a trigger guard strap upon request.

Sorry I don't have a camera that shows good detail but here are some pic's of the trigger guard. It looks like the guard was cut then the scroll was then welded to the guard, very nicely done and feels very natural when you shoulder the gun.P1010550.jpg

Did Parker Pages have a write-up on that gun or am I remembering Double Gun Journal?

Yes, I believe it was John's grandfather's gun.

Right - I don't recall a Parker Pages article specifically on that gun but I believe there was a DGJ article on it. I do remember John posted the history and provenance, extensive pictures of the gun, his great-grandfather, great-grandmother, and the dozens upon dozens of trophies taken with it, on the PGCA Forum almost ten years ago.

It would be very nice if John would do that again as a treat to the old-timers in this organization but, as well, for the hundreds of new members who have never seen it up close and personal.

Or they can see it up close in person if they go to the New Years Day shoot at Major Waldron's.

Amazing gun.

That is a nice gun I would like to see all the engraving. It's a pin lifter no? Beautiful feather stock. ch
