I wish I had your knowledge on Parkers then I would have more confidence on bidding on these fine guns. I haven't seen anybody on the forum come out and say for sure that the case and barrel blue are legit. By the way-I know the straight grip is rarer and probably more desirable but I still like the pistol grip.

I really can’t remark on the originality of the case color, or for that matter much of the rest of the gun. But if I had it in hand to examine I wiuld have a much better idea. Regardless, it is still a desirable and valuable Parker.

Because the discussion is case colors , this little 20 ga has lots of case colors but does not show them well in a static photograph.

Bruce, the "woodduck" gun is wonderful. With roundel engraving too!!!! Doesn't get much better. I think Cs are the best grade.

[Alfred Greeson]

Bruce, thanks for sharing, beautiful guns. I have never seen any engraving like the little 20.

Edgar, we really should have known.

Looks like a Picasso... Nice job Edgar.

Thanks for putting the entire process into layman's terms for us. Your experience in the field of metals is invaluable to us.

What a great thread you initiated, John.

And exemplary. It quickly brought in some valuable knowledge, original graphics, rare insights, and magnificent gun photos, all freely given, from some of the top mavens in the Parker gun community.

Best of luck to you as you move forward in collecting such fine pieces as you are now considering.
