Bird season is here, the leaves are turning, the pheasants are cackling, and the grouse are flushing. Time for a new Parker for your upland season, but how to choose? There are many available and more than just price that influences your decision. You want a gun that will serve your needs, function properly without letting you down or costing you more money on repairs, and a gun that looks good and makes you proud. This fine Parker, sn203022 made in 1923, is a very rare find in that it is “as found” and retains 96% factory blue, 75% factory vivid case color, perfect screws, perfect wood-to-metal fit, barrels tight on breech face and hinge pin like a new gun, no cracks or repairs to the wood…just a perfect example of a fine Parker VHE in high condition. Even the 28” barrels with IC/M chokes are factory original. There are a LOT of Parker VH 16ga. guns for sale, but only about 2500 with ejectors, and only a few with lots of factory condition that have not been buggered up, or otherwise made less desirable by the addition of a pad, poorly done restorations, or replaced parts. Examine the details closely and you will notice the superior wood to metal fit, superb factory checkering, original dogs head buttplate, awesome shooting dimensions, factory original bore diameter and wall thicknesses, all setting it apart from the others. Additionally, this is a “VFI CERTIFIED” gun, meaning it has been stripped to its smallest parts, cleaned in our Ultrasonic Cleaner, all parts inspected for function and soundness, lubricated properly, and re-assembled. The VFI CERTIFIED GUNS have a 90-day mechanical warranty and will need no additional maintenance for decades to come. This Parker 16ga. is on a #1 frame but weighs in at 6lbs. 7oz. and balances right on the hinge pin. Most Parker 16ga. guns weigh 1/2lb. more! A finer Parker upland gun you will not find at this price. Just a few light rubs and handling marks on the barrels from use in the field. Thanks for looking, and you should take this Parker for a hunt!
