Adopted a fairly early GH today:
I located and purchased a fairly early (1889) GH today. It's a #1 frame 12 gauge with 30" tubes that shine (inside) and a touch of "case color" left on the frame. I didn't see anything but a used, untouched vintage Parker that was up for adoption. This gun was a consignment and I have been very busy lately adopting these wayward guns. This is my fourth Parker and my sixth double gun in the last couple of months. I'm looking at a heavily engraved "Manton" tomorrow with "Royal Damascus" barrels, could be a "keeper". Now this old Parker has seen better days but it needed a good home so here's a few photos I took today with poor light, though I'll take the sunshine over a snow day anytime. There is too much light on the butt stock photo, it really doesn't look like that. Didn't have to lay down too much cash 'cause that's how I roll. The engraving is of the earlier style without the football border. It also has the early "Dogs Head" butt plate with a snipe. Enjoy:
