Description:
Parker VH 16 Gauge Side-by-Side
SUPER CLEAN, CRISP, UNTOUCHED GUN!
General Specs: Parker, Year 1931, 16 Gauge, 6lbs 6oz, SxS
Serial Number: 234883
I get to see a lot of fine Parker guns in my business, and high-grade guns to boot, but this fine Parker, sn234883 built in 1931, stands out because of its CLEAN, UNMOLESTED condition. Another nicety is that it is a full 1/4lb. lighter than most 16ga. Parkers built on the #1 frame, weighing just 6lbs. 6oz. and balanced perfectly on the hinge pin. Look at the wood to metal fit, the checkering, the screws...they are factory original and superb. All the finishes, including the wood finish, are factory original and untouched. Virtually 99% factory case color remains on the receiver, bold and vivid (keep in mind the photo flash washes out some of the vividness. The colors show better in person), and 99% factory original blue on the barrels. There is not one crack or split or repair anywhere in the wood, and the gun measures 14 1/4" to the factory dogs head butt plate. The 28" barrels have no dings or pits, a few light handling marks, mirror perfect bores, unaltered 2 9/16" chambers, rough barrel weight stamped at 3-5, and crisp clear lettering and rib matting. Even the factory jewelling at the breech face remains evident (see photos).
You can look a long time and you will be hard pressed to find a more genuine and crisp VH 16. These guns are still a great investment, especially with high condition. This is clearly an investment quality shotgun that has been carried and therefore can be used and shot with no loss of value. If you want to see what near new, factory Parker case colors looked like, just check this one out. They are not subtle, nor “pearlescent”, but bold and strong. This fine Parker has it all; high factory condition, desirable features, good shooting dimensions, and the factory letter documenting the gun. NICE! Thanks for looking!
