on the rebarrel question . my guess would be they were damaged, but i dont under stand the shorter chambers. i have a dhe sold thru van camp hardware in 1904 it had 28in damascus barrels and was sent back and rebarreled with 30in fluid steel barrels with 3in chambers. it also has checkerd side panels

Checkered side panels or "cheeks" could be requested as Parker would do what the customer requested. I have two DHE 20's with checkered side panels. The other explanation is it was done to hide a stock repair.

Either way you have a nice Parker.

Russ, Your killin me...

Gary,Yes "Check side of stock" is what these gents are refering to. I find the "No bottle points #2" very interesting. My take on that is that the factory had a template(#2) for drop point carving and this gun was to be made sans the drop point.

How many of you have Parkers with wood that would be considered "Non-standard" checkering or other features? I have already stored some pictures of beavertail forends that are a bit different. Maybe we could gather some more interesting pictures and put an article in Parker Pages.

I think they all look great. I just aquired my first D grade. There are no points or cheek checkering on it. Letter has been ordered and is coming soon.( I hope )
Russ, keep on posting those pics, it doesn't matter how much Dean sweats, those guns are gorgeous. That is the only way some of us low budget collectors get to see them.
