New CHE

The rising duck C is a 12ga 1 1/2 frame, handled well. Was on Chuck Brunner's table ( Greene's Guns) at Vintagers for sale. I thought it was a very nice gun. PG and skeleton butt. Maybe not a grouse gun but a good all around 12 and I thought the price was realistic.

And I forgot and I wish I had kept pictures. Larry Frey has a stunning CHE with Gambel's quail on the floor plate....that's the quail with the top knot. What a piece.

A few more examples of the variation in C's. Here are three 20's. The top fluid steel one has a single setter. The middle damascus one ( in extraordinary high condition) has the deep cut ruffed grouse. The bottom damascus one has the wood duck.

All three of these are guns from here that had to be smuggled out of the east coast.

Travis's new C with the fox flushing what looks like a grouse is another wonderful scene and Travis you should be very pleased to have such a great piece of Parkerdom.

Nice gun Travis, I also love the variation in the floor plate engraving on grades C and above.

Bruce dont forget to save it this time.
