Here are sage grouse. You've seen these on Parkers? I've seen sharptailed grouse but never sage grouse. I'd love to see photos. Several years ago, Charlie and I made a special trip to Montana in pursuit of sage grouse. We never did bag one, pheasants yes but no sage grouse. Sage grouse are about the size of small turkeys and live only in sage. |

Bruce Im not sure but I thought that these looked more like sage grouse than sharp tails on a 1901 parker G It has some birds on the bottom I thought might be sharp tails.

I'm not sure what they are. They are not correct for either sage grouse, prairie chickens, sharptailed grouse, or any quail species I am familar with. But, its still nice that we got gamebird engraving of probably a prairie grouse species rather than just repeticious scroll .
Now I know this one is ruffed grouse. (owned by a friend) |

Here are some "Parker engraved" sage grouse on the under-side of VH 145522. "Engraving" courtesy of my Dad and CIL Imperial #4's. Late '60's near Manyberries, Alberta.. No need to add sage seasoning when eating these birds.
