Another Parker with a du Bray connection and 1897 Madison Sq. Garden Show. I assume this gun was "sold" to Du Bray as a sales tool and not a personal gun??? Also this show gun is not listed in the PS.

I wonder what it was about that gun that it was returned so many times by so many buyers?

They probably didn't care for the lackluster engraving and the "Plutoesque" rendition of the dogs.

Looks very much like Harry Gough’s work. I like it.
