You have a pair of some of the finest guns ever made, and the wondrous thing about Parkers is that except for the more cosmetic features of the guns, all grades are made to the same standard -- which is as high as any made in America at the time.
Treat them kindly. No need to shoot super heavy loads, they'll kill birds and bust clays with loads similar to those they were meant to shoot.
What a treasure trove you have with a pair of long and short barreled Parkers. Congratulations.
