I have just seen the pictures but I have talked to Chuck and it sounds like a great gun and at a fair price. He's a great person to deal with.

Looks like a very nice gun. Obviously many guns produced by Parker as well as almost every other manufacturer were used to shoot pigeons. In this case is it the provenance to a successful pigeon shooter that makes this gun fall into the "Pigeon Gun" category? Or perhaps the specifications ie; long barrels, straight stock, no safety, etc? I know this question has been discussed before but would just like some opinions. Also it would seem that a 32" #2 frame gun would be on the light side at 7# 3oz.

That is a bit on the light side. For some period of time, Pigeon Guns had to be under eight pounds, and you see a lot listed in the old GAH shoot listings in the 7-13, 7-14, 7-15 range. My Philadelphia Arms Co. Fox C-Grade with 32-inch barrels, straight grip stock, 14 7/16 LOP x 1 7/16 DAC x 2 3/8 DAH and no safety weighs in at 7 pounds 13 ounces. While a lot of us seem to like the longer barrels today, "Bluerock" aka Capt. A. W. Money, made the case for 30-inch barrels in his book. That CHE would look nice next to my Fox. Hmmmm.....
