Unusual Engraving, and Markings

John, That isn't, by chance, the gun you bought from Reggie? As I recall, you purchased a gun I sold him; a DHE 12ga, 1 1/2 frame 30". Yet another I have wondered what I was thinking.

This is not that one. That one is from 1926.

This is on a size 2 frame (instead of 1 1/2 frame).

It is my college graduation gift from my dad (in 1976).

My dad got it from a collector that lived in Fort Worth, Herman Gilbreath.

I knew I should have stayed in school while my dad was still alive, but I quit in my senior year to go to work for him. I may or may not have bought myself a Parker when I finally did graduate.

Now that's something to cherish John. What a gun. To each his own but personally I hope you push a little lead down them tubes occasionally.
