2011 Lookback

[Big Friend Ten (BFT)]

I offer my empty pockets as evidence that this has been a very good year to buy those Parkers that haven't seen daylight in a couple of generations... But there were no 11 gauges for me, only long barreled Parker 10's and 12's along with a pair of their foxey cousins.

Hmmm. This year. I'll have to think about that. Now this week I bought a screaming #3 frame lifter, 1880, no screw ever turned, including the buttplate. I can't believe how these things go 131 years without abuse or neglect.
