You folks that are so against "freshening up" an old gun, why not put your money where your mouth is and offer to buy the gun from Phil (I'm absolutely certain there's some price at which he'd sell it). Then you can keep the poor old tired looking thing as an eyesore in your gun case.

Phil knows I'd be a customer on the gun if he's ever ready to sell it so my money is already there.

Mine,Actually both are restored and I enjoy them. A few years ago a frind and I shot them in the flurry event at the Vintage Cup. We didn't score high but loading and pulling the hammers back was a real hoot.

If it were for sale, I would be interested. However, I don't think it's for sale. BTW: does it look like this 10 gauge Scott:  Thanks OWD

OWD the Swan looks the same my engraving is different. I promise to post pictures tomorrow. Destry the gun is yours if I sell. That said a turkey hunt is destined for the gun first. Also a Sandhill crane hunt. Now there is a hunt. Able to shoot cranes with lead shot, now all I need is the OK on the 8 gauge. The 10 gauge lead loads you gave me last year did the trick, even if it was with my restored DH Parker.

Phil,
Nice looking Parker! As someone else on this board once said, "Life's to short to hunt with an ugly gun!"

O-W-B I may currently be a geologist but in a former life I spent 5 years in sales. Anything's for sale, it's just a matter of price.

Did I mention how envious I was of those three cranes when I was out there? I had my chance though, on that pair that swung the decoys out in the desert, I just didn't connect.
Hopefully we're able to get together in January for some quail like we discussed.
Was out this morning for the first day of the early goose season in Ontario. Three of us managed to kill 15 but should of all had limits, just a little rookie shooting but that always happens.
The youngest of the bunch got two banded birds, I was envious of those too. But I've killed my share and he's only got two so I can't make too much medicine against him. Out again in the morning so maybe my turn is coming.
Wish I'd have had the big Churchill and lead shells in hand but I was stuck with the Parker magnum 10 gauge Federal Tungsten Polymer.
