PARKER BROS., MERIDKN, CONN. One of the largest assortment of shot guns was shown by this old and well established firm. They had a sample of all the different grades, from the cheapest hammer and hainmerless to the very finest pigeon gun costing $400. Over 80 guns in all were exhibited here. The light and pretty 16-gaupe, the medium weight and popular 12-gauge, the heavier 10-gauge and the big 8-bore were shown side by side. A special sample exhibited was the new grade pigeon gun with Titanic steel barrels, which possess wonderful strength. These guns list at $100, $150 and $200, and are bound to please any shooter who possesses one. A. W. Du Bray and L. C. Parker were in charge.

I love that dark patina on the action , I wonder how that happens compared to action that are worn back to being almost in the white .
