Fox C grade

Post by MikeR »

I just read Craig Larter's article in the most recent Double Gun Journal and really enjoyed it. I have a CE 12 #20013 shipped October 17, 1912. I have the variation where a pointer is engraved instead of the setter in the dog scene. Was this purely the engraver taking his own artistic license or possibly a request from the Buyer? Kinda fun and thanks for writing the article Craig.

We have identified three engravers of the per-1913 guns. There styles are different and not that difficult to identify. I believe the early engraving was done by contractors and that they had more freedom of artistic expression. Parker was no different in the early days many contract workers.

Thank you Bobby.
Mark, I just got the gun back a month or so ago. 8 to 10 months to get to the front of the line and complete the restoration.
The gun is a two barrel set .
