Robin, I've only had the 16 lifter for a week, but my favorite partridge gun is a VHE 16 that was my dad's since new.
As an interesting (well, to me anyway) aside, my dad was born in Meriden, and his father was the foundry manager for Parkers. My grandfather wasn't a sport, but his first cousin, Ernest Spencer, who also owned a foundry, was, and took his brother-in-law, and my dad, on my dad's birthday, to the Parker showroom and bought him that VHE. Ernie's brother-in-law bought a VH 20, which I later got from his daughter. I later passed it back to her son.
