Beautiful wood and checkering. Very cool knob detail. You’ve certainly had some beautiful Bernard barreled guns Dean.

Since I cajoled you good folks to dig into your safes I felt like I should at least do it myself. This is my best example of an original condition Parker.

Original condition, you never know where they will turn up. This was at my wife's cousins house as we helped her with her parents estate.
The last known Parker with Damascus barrels, circa 1928. A DH 12 with 30 in barrels, and perhaps unfired. I showed it to a few at the Rock Mtn shoot.

It would not be unfired anymore if it resided here, Greg.

Very nice!
