Wow those are some beautiful straight gripped guns!!!

I need a good picture of all of mine together as well. I have noticed that my straight grip hammerless inventory is dangerously low. It was much more common to see hammer guns with straight grips. Here are a few of mine:

1. 20 Gauge VH with 30" barrels (this is one of my favorite Parkers)
2. Parker #0171 12 gauge with 26" barrels likely cut from 28" (It is a fun to shoot this early Parker)
3. This is relatively early TA 10 gauge hammer gun with 30" twist barrels on a #2frame I took with me on a Tundra Swan Hunt.
4. 10 Gauge Model 1873 Remington Whitmore (I love this design and have ben looking for one in 12 gauge)
5. A 12 Gauge Lefever G grade with 32" star/flag patterned damascus (this has been my "new" trap gun)
6. A Parker 10 Gauge DH with 32" Damascus barrels on a Sandhill Crane Hunt last year
7. Last but not least, is my #3 frame 12 gauge Parker Lifter made in 1893 with 32" twist barrels, it weighs exactly 10lbs. As far as I can tell from a good bit of research, this was the last straight gripped lifter Parker made.

Not very good pictures but here are two Fox's.

First two pictures are an XE12 and the last two pictures are an unmarked early B12 looking Fox.

I checked my data base for the straight/splinter guns in my safes. I counted 34 of all makes. Here's one of my favorites: 16 gauge BHE. I've been a fan of the straight/splinter for many years.

I’m quite sure it’ll never happen , but I’d love to have the three lesser gauges in the skeet configuration of VHE 26” straight SST BT checkered butt to match the 12 and 16 as well as a VHE 12 32” vent rib straight SST BT Monte Carlo pad gun and last but not least an SC 34” straight grip and pad . Of course for these I’d prefer Remington era correctly marked etc . But as I said I doubt this ever happens .
