1931 mfg VHE 32” high rib, single selective trigger, straight stock, 1 1/2 frame, 14 1/2” LOP, 1 3/8”- 2 3/8”, medallion is engraved “FKS”, F (.33)RT and IC (.12) LT, BTFE and weighing in about 8 lb 13 oz.
I have a Parker letter and have G&H info too. Somewhere between 1931 and 1947 the stock was changed from capped pistol grip to English. Still haven’t found who FKS was? How’s that? |

Where does the "Griffith" moniker come in?

Eugene C. Griffith, an "amateur" shooting a Parker was winner of the 1901 GAH at Live Birds. Griffith had shot only about 300 live birds before the GAH and he went on to best 21 other straights including many professional shooters. A real success story and a good read in the Pigeons in the Park chapter of the McIntosh Fox book.
Here's a fuzzy cut of the 22 straights copied from the American Field. Griffith in rear row, far right. Ansley Fox in front row, 4th from left. |
