. . . and, I might add that, upon closer inspection of the pictures in both publications, it appears that a screw or two may have been replaced. With all the money spent on that gun to pretty it up why was the hinge pin never properly aligned?
Mr. Fleischman apparantly had a penchant for gold inlay on his Parkers. Look also at the 20 ga. two barrel set A1S 231774 on page 192 of the James D. Julia auction catalog for October 6, 2005. Same gold flowers on the trigger guard, very similar row of gold flowers forward of the trigger plate, gold floral bouquet on the trigger plate but has gold ducks and pheasants on the sides of the frame. But, of course if you're Max Fleischman, why not gold??
