Parker Live Bird Gun??

[John Davis]

Budd's grip was designated "PW". I assumed that stood for Prince of Wales. Not sure what the difference is though between the POW and the half pistol.

You are right Bill, That price is a bit steep considering the overall condition.

Best, CSL

Nice thread whoever referred to trapshooters as being cheap must either be one or knows a few.

OK. So now I have heard it all on the live bird, trap, configuration. I have looked at the bevertail and it is checkered properly for a Parker, but of a higher grade than V. This gun also sports a rounded pistol grip instead of the Standard flat configuration . The forend has the proper bbl. lug for a beavertail and the stock looks original to the gun. I would upload pics but tried and have failedd.
Advise on how to do that so you gents can get a look and opine on this gun would be appreciated.

All: Thanks. The gun has a Beavertail and I checked it has the proper bbl lug for that. The checkering seems of a higher grade than a VH and the buttstock has a round nob pistol grip stock not the standard Flat nob. All that being said the stock and checkering looks original to the gun. I would down load pics but tried and cant figure it out could any one tell me how to do it so I can get some pics up.
Thanks

Gents: How do you post pics here. Been trying but cant figure it out. Want to share pics of this VHE. Gun has a Round Nob Pistol Grip. But the Stock looks original and the checkering looks Parker. Also the Bevertail checkering seems to be of a higher grade than V but the forend iron is the proper iron for a Beavertail. Gun is a mystery.
