Kev
I really like that engraving style. I think leaving "dead space" between the scrolls really highlights their beauty David |

Back to what Brian said early on in this thread, The Mattie gun is a custom build, not upgraded, I wanted a gun to my specs and found some gentlemen who were willing to spend a lot of time and effort to make it happen, The barrels are from a V grade hammerless 16g a with the rib matting taken off, check hook added as per the original twist barrels, stock just a little different than a normal Parker stock, engraving as I had requested, and gold inlays also to my liking, started to do franc Grey but was advised to go with case colors, and glad I did makes the inlays jump out at you. The gun was done in Canada, Hats off to Chris Dawe, who went out of his way to do a super job on the stock and for end, checkering, and barrel work, and put the completed gun together, Thanks to Brian Frank for the engraving and gold work, and Mr Oskar Kob for the case colors, it was worth the almost three year wait, thanks guys, Gary

There were pictures of Mattie's and Gunner's guns together at the Southern. We are just waiting for them to be posted.
I think I'll bring the upgraded 28 with the Purdy set of barrels to Hausmann's. I believe Bill is correct in the name of the original owner. I met Terry Boose once at the Southern. He was sick at the time but a nice person with some great guns.

Gary, Rich, sorry for the delay on these. As iPhone pics they weren't the best or up to my usual standards, so I had to do some Photoshop work before posting them. Gentlemen (and Ladies) I present to you two of the finest Parker Custom Guns I have ever seen, and stunning tributes to two best friends to boot.
