Hi All, new member here. Been a SxS hunter/shooter for decades, but with modern Spanish and Italian guns, AOC Ugartecheas and Arrietas. Have wanted to dive into vintage American and British SxSs, and have acquired my first Parker in a trade of a few other guns, along with a vintage BSA, Webeley & Scott, and vintage Belgium Clemens. The Parker VH #2 frame needs help. I’m not looking to fully restore it, just want to get it to a “huntable” state. I’ll post a pic here, then a bit more detailed post in a sub forum on it. But I’m looking forward to learning a bunch here! Thanks Ben!

Hi Ben - Welcome!

You should join the Parker Gun Collectors Association as an annual member for only $40

The benefits are tremendous and you'll learn what to look for in your next Parker purchase.

May we ask what you estimate your first Parker to be worth?

Its all in one piece. It looks hunt-able to me.

You will enjoy hunting with a piece of history. Welcome.

Main concerns are the stock is loose and it’s off face a bit.

Welcome to the community!!

I wouldn't be shooting that gun until it has been properly repaired - not for safety concerns necessarily, but because both of those conditions will only get worse by shooting it.
