Nice gun!! A straight grip, 30-inch barrel,16-gauge, should be a great handling gun. Gotta say, those are some ugly birds on the trigger plate!!

Maybe I caught them in a bad light. As it is my 2nd D grade gun and by far the strongest remaining engraving, I think they're perfect. Haha. I think the engraver's attempt at the pheasant eye patch may have gone awry.

Dan, I'd take Parker engraving from that era over today's Bulino or banknote engraving any day. If one is looking for anatomical rendering, go to another source. It's all part of the charm and mystic of a Parker.
