I have carried it many ,many times for Woodcock ,Grouse and as previously mentioned ,once a year for Pen Raised Pheasant ! It is an Original Parker 410 Ejector Gun with Engraving from one of the Best factory Engravers and truly is a Joy to Behold ! It is time for it to find a New Caretaker but if it doesn't , it won't Break my Heart either ! I would recommend one to any one who loves Parker Guns !

I have wondered if people sometimes buy project Parker guns to rebuild them to be a configuration that normal would be almost impossible to find on the market .

About to start my third week of “shelter at home” out here in CA and going crazy so thought I would take some pics of latest acquisition. This is a 20 ga with 28 inch barrels choked Mod and Full that started as a a vhe single trigger BVTL gun. Now an upgrade to an A1S. It came with a 28 ga A1S upgrade as well. I normally pay no attention to these but they were very close and reasonably priced.

I believe almost no use since the work was done.

Enjoy.

The engraving is wonderful... Runge?

...and the mullered borders are perfection as well.

If you use the Search function and enter Odis Odom (his name is universally misspelled; it it spelled Odis, not Otis), you will pull up a couple of threads. The 8-1-2016 "Clark Gable and Carole Lombard Hunting" thread's last page contains 2 posts I made regarding Odis' back story, so to speak, and the last post on the thread is mine, answering Jim Thynne's queries as to the disposition of actor Robert Stack's Parker Guns.
