it is one of my summer projects - i've been collecting the accessories as I find them

and the walnut cases were not covered with either canvas or leather

Thanks for posting this. And thanks to Bruce for some very detailed photos and a nice thread. I'd love to see more photos of cases spanning all of Parkers history. Are there any more out there? Bruce's thread also brings to mind a few questions. How to make those bequtiful leather handles? I liked the idea of the cord or thread wrapped in leather, but the strength of the handles looks like it could be improved. Also, does anyone know where one can begin a search for those parker accessories? I'm guessing they are as rare as a BHE 410, with matching prices.

I have a very late Remington/Parker DHE 20 ga 2 barrel set that came in a case.

This is a two barrel gun, with original Parker case, including correspondence with the maker confirming the order, and a picture of the original owner.

Todd,
That is quite a nice gun, I'd almost rather see more pics it than the case. Can you give dimensions on the case and perhaps another pic or two with the gun broken down and "nesting".
Thanks again and I think I speak for everyone when I say our feelings won't be hurt if you include more close ups of that beautiful DHE 20.
Best
Dean

I've got company coming over shortly, but will get to it.
I have been saving this gun for a contribution to the Parker Pages, as the back story on this gun is pretty interesting.

There have to be more cases out there. Come on guys, dust off those cases and take some pics. Its snowing like hell here on the east coast so I know most of you are sitting at home fondling your parkers anyway. I'd love to see as many different examples as possible. Don't forget to lay a tape down or take some measurements. And thanks in advance. Also, where's the info on Parker accessories? Did I hit on a taboo subject? I suppose they aren't making any more snap caps or brass shotshells.

Actually - someone is making repros of the 10 gauge Parker brass shotshells

They are listed at trackofthewolf.com

As for the other accesories - they are hard to find, but do show up once and a while. But you never know where or when

I photographed this one somewhere in Connecticut in 2010.
