Nash Buckingham stated he had a 34-inch Parker in his Outdoor Life magazine article "Magnum Opus" but it was displaced by a string of Super-Fox guns. It appears to be the gun Nash was using in the 1921 Field & Stream movies Dr. Wayne Capooth, author of The Golden Age of Waterfowling, had transcribed onto a DVD. Probably the Parker in this picture --

Thanks for posting that pic, Dave. I don't recall ever noticing, or reading, that Mr. Nash had a .410 O/U Merkel. Now I realize he and I not only share a love of big duck guns, but of long barreled .410 double bird guns as well.

Is it mentioned in any of his writings? Where was that picture published?
