Perhaps a morning Irish coffee is not such a good idea for you...

Brian as always I appreciate your thoroughness in evaluating stock condition on guns and John I appreciate your compliments on the gun as well. I knew going in this gun wasn't in pristine condition, however if I only bought pristine guns I would have a lot fewer ones to enjoy.

As was said in the thread comparing Parker’s with English “best”, they made guns that were often shot thousands of rounds every season. There aren’t many English guns to be had that don’t show the wear of use. That’s a beautifully gun with deep engraving, a killer stick of wood that might weight 6.5 #’s, and it’s not even a “Best” gun. It’s a hell of a gun by any measure. Congratulations.
