Steven:

An enjoyable article. Thanks for the link.

I well know those persisting regrets -- all out of proportion with what should really matter in our lives. In my case it was selling a fine sporting print that had graced my office for several years, when I had fallen on hard times. It was of Woodcock shooting, entitled “SEEK DEAD” (presumably a quaint 19th Century locution of the command for a dog to retrieve).

I can’t even find an example of that picture owned by someone else on the internet (presumably to drag out the longing even more!).

No matter how much stuff we have it is like the lost sheep parable (Matthew 18:12–14; Luke 15:3–7), about the shepherd who leaves his flock of ninety-nine sheep in order to find the one which is lost.

Good luck Steven with your quest.

Question for anyone: In the article Steven’s gunsmith says, “You know, it really doesn't look like this [CHE] has been shot much. Look at the original tool marks,…"

I hear this about some high-condition Parker guns from time-to-time; it even has been said about one I own now. Where are these tool marks commonly found, other than where there is less-than-complete barrel striking?

Things were looking pretty bleak in the real estate business.

Here is a CHE that could be a sister to the CHE you are looking for and it is only 2,000 off in serial number. https://www.gunsinternational.com/gu...n_id=102712738

Thanks for the heads-up!
I look at every CHE ad that comes up, to see if it is my gun.
My interest is not sentimental (well, maybe a little); it is about the custom stock I had made for it.
When I bought the gun, the wrist was irrepairable, so I took it up to Montana Long Guns to have them make me a custom stock, to turn it into a great gun for clay pigeons (or live ones, for that matter).
I don't need to tell you how much a custom stock costs (or how much it is worth to a target shooter).
It was a super clean gun that had been restored by Turnbull, if memory serves.
At any rate, I hope someone gets tired of hiding it in a gun safe and decides to sell it back to me.
