Dean,
I'm surprised you don't recognize it. That gun was part of the last Parker team to win against the LC Smith team at the Southern SxS . With a little luck it will be there again this year.  The rest of the gun is shown on the grades page with the familiar green background. |

Hi Bill, Larry and all...
It is indeed an A grade - with a "born on date" of 1891, Larry..  Also - I've asked for higher resolution pictures of what does appear to be a frog..?? Here is the best I have so far... As well, I told the gentleman that if his photo skills are not up to the task, just send the Parker to me, and I would be happy to shoot it for him (in every sense of the word..  )...I don't think he's buying that advice from me, tho'...

So, Jedi Knights of Parkerdom, do we have an educated guess on who did the engraving.

Greg, I'll get back to you on that this evening after some study.
I'm rethinking the object of the "frog" engraving and I'm leaning more to a bittern with beak pointing straight upward in its disguise posture.... makes more sense than a frog too... |

Okay... My guess is the Loch Ness Monster...
