PARKER 20 GAUGE VH SHOTGUN ON A "0" FRAME

Description:
SOLD PENDING FUNDS   

I have decided to sell my 1910 Parker VH 20-gauge 0 frame shotgun with 28’ Barrels. This gun is not a safe queen and shows honest wear from hunting the Grouse and Woodcock woods of Vermont. When I purchased it, I was told that it was ordered by a Dr. in Rutland, Vt in 1910. The person I purchased it from was the second caretaker of the gun and it was still in Vermont. The Parker Letter on the gun verifies this as it shows a Dr. P.M. Williams of Rutland, Vermont ordered the gun on July 13, 1910. The gun is still as it was ordered in 1910 with no modifications to it and matches the Parker Letter Perfectly. It has a 13 ½” LOP, 1 5/8” DAC and a 2 ¾” DAH. If the LOP is a bit short for you it is an easy fix. Just remove the original plastic dogs head buttplate and put a vintage style pad on it of your choosing. You do not have to alter the gun doing this. The chokes on the original 28” barrels measure right .004 and left .018, perfect Grouse/Woodcock/Quail Chokes. They are tight on face with the for end off or on, and ring nicely. No bulge’s dents or pits. Just a great set of barrels.  This is an untouched Parker small bore and is 100% original. No cracks or severe gouges in the wood, though it does show the numerous surfaces marks from hunting. The screws look good and the barrels are bright and shiny. The original barrel bluing is nice with fading at the carry points and one smudge in the 28” barrels about the size of a quarter. The gun swings perfectly for those close in thick cover shots. I wish these old Parker's could talk! I would love to hear the hunting stories that could be told! Thanks for looking.
