Patrick: The gun is a VH from 1901. It rests on a 2 Frame and weighs in at 7 lb 10 oz. The Vulcan steel barrels are in 12 gauge with perfect mirror bores - just a well cared for gun, no honing. Overall, a very nice condition Parker. The "gutta percha" cap and butt plate have slowly and evenly turned brown over the years, lending to its character. I debated making them black again and didn't. I quite like your analogy to the "gray hair" (a few here have a bit of that ) I found this one on GA a few years ago in New York. I spoke with the owner and convinced myself that I should be the next owner. It is tight as a fiddle and delivers shot exactly where it is pointed. Sometimes, when I close my eyes and hope for the best, there is a dead rooster 40 yards out for CHARLIE. (She enjoys the flush and now, if there is no shot, she gets back to work knowing (maybe) that it was a hen.) Now if she hears a shot, she is on the run with eyes skyward marking the drop. If I connected, she enjoys the end game. If I missed, she gives me that look only a bird dog can give a gunner.
I think it might be close to this
Cheers,
Jack
