It has taken some time to accumulate these and some needed work, but all are good shooters. These guns were all made before 1910. I am partial to the g grades as they are not over the top but nice enough for me.
Tom: I like the Roundel example, has another example surfaced?

Craig - To the best of our knowledge this is the only example of a GH with the roundelle style of engraving that has ever surfaced.

About 12 years ago Tom and I were competitors bidding against each other on this unique Parker.
If my memory serves me correctly Tom has given me first refusal should he ever decide to part with it.
