Chuck,

That is as nice a G as I ahve ever seen. The screws look untouched so I doubt anyone has been in there. As for the endgraving, I suspect the reason it looks so deep is because it shows very little wear. It is a beautiful gun, that's for sure.

I found this little Parker at a gun show near Pittsburg a few months ago. It was being sold by the grandson of the original owner. The gun actually looks better in hand than on the photos.It weighs in at 7 lbs. with 30" barrels on a #1 frame.

Nice find Dave, tell us a little more about gun can't read letter. Looks to be in high condition. Is the case period to gun? Bob

Bob, I resized the photos.They are larger now,but not as clear as I would like.I guess I need to take more time when taking them.
The gun is in great condition.It is as tight as any I've held. W S Brown was a large sporting goods store in 1890.I don't know if the case and cleaning equiptment were bought at that store, with the gun or not. Everything is original and correct according to the letter. I think I should shoot it soon.
