Re: Parkhurst carbine
Here is another photo from my Parkhurst. I thought I had posted it before with the others, but I guess not. What do people make of it?

So, here is the latest addition to my collection. I was very lucky to stumble upon it and even luckier to be able to acquire it. I have not seen one in real life before.
Thoughts?
