The Parker is the most noted vintage American double shotgun in the world and has more fans than all of the other major makers. They are wonderful guns with a classic look and were made in fairly high numbers, about 250,000 guns in all. When looking for a lightweight Parker for upland birds or a casual day on the sporting clays course you will see the Parker VH 20ga. offered for sale quite often, so they are not a rare gun. In fact, they made about 10,000 of them in all. So, how do you know which one to buy. Most all you see will have been altered, or worn thin of finish from hard use, or stocks cut or replaced with after market wood, screws buggered, etc. Most are extractor guns with less desirability and resale value. It is extremely hard to find a VHE 20 gauge in high factory condition. THOSE are the guns that are the most sought after, that will gain in value the most over the years, and bring the most pride of ownership for most buyers. This Parker, sn236758 made in 1934 is one of the best you will see for some time. It has 80% vivid factory case color, 96% dark factory blue, perfect screws, perfect mirror bores, and a stock that is factory original and unaltered ending in a vintage Noshoc pad. The wood has nice figure for a VH grade gun, with excellent checkering and nary a split or crack anywhere, and great shooting dimensions. With the 28" barrels choked IC/M, weighing 6 1/4lbs. and perfectly in hand, it is the perfect upland gun that can also knock down some clay targets when asked to do so. This is an investment quality Parker and will continue to gain value as you enjoy its use. The case color is hard to photograph and is much more vivid in person. You will not be disappointed in this gun, and it is affordably priced. Thanks for looking!
