Nice but it looks like it was cloned from Vintagers. I know I would have shot better if I had a team hat, though.

Now this is a Parker Bros. hammer! We should adopt something like this for our team's hats.

The tips of the hammer ears are curled and there is also a very nicely executed spur, both of which can only be found on the higher grades.

I copied this picture from a thread showing one of Gary Crmichael's exquisite hammer guns.

A hammer like that would have been worth at least 2 lost birds.

Or maybe we could adopt the 'forend tip' motif for the hats...

How about the fishing scene off the hammer gun at the PGF banquet? That was just awesome

RST shell boxes are another idea.

Mr Romig,

You have got it right. Parker hammers are much better looking and that particular one is spectacular.
