The gun that would be the last to be sold out of my gun case is the Parker that has been my go-to grouse and woodcock gun for the last dozen or so years. It is a 1904 vintage 16 ga 0 frame DH. It has 26 inch Damascus barrels choked a light IC and Mod, with a pistol grip, splinter forend, double triggers and a skeleton butt. Every time I take in the the woods I feel like I should be wearing calf high lace up leather boots, a coat and tie and a fedora, and hunting behind a brace of Gorden setters. Whoever ordered this gun back in 1904 new what a New England upland gun should be.
Donald, my go-to grouse gun is also a 1904 DH 16 with 26” barrels…and I hunt over Gordons. I’d wear a coat and tie if Frost would paint our portraits.
