I only have one Parker 20 gauge ! And the one I have I’ve wanted for fifty years , first remmember seeing it when I was 7 or 8 . It belonged to a family friend that owned the local Gunshop and he kept it on the wall in his shop but not for sale . His father gave it to him when he was in Hamden Sydney in the late 50’s and his father had bought it from the original owner . I bet I asked two hundred times if he was ready to sell it and my father asked quite a few times as well . And when he brought it in to my buddies shop to sell it he told him to give me the first crack at it . This gun is probably the best condition Parker I own even if it’s only a VHE . The pics are of a dove shoot with the little 20 about four or five years ago and a Pheasent preserve hunt two years ago . Down the road I’d like to add a couple more 20’s a VH/VHE 26” , a GH/GHE and perhaps a DH/DHE . But like many things time will tell .
