Don't know why this photo is upside down. Will get some better pics later.

However scant your experience with shotguns is, it sounds like you have the soul of a vintage gun fancier. And, you are fortunate to have a wonderful-sounding legacy side-by-side, enabling you to develop an emergent passion.
If you enjoy plinking at stationary targets with a .22, you surely should try breaking moving targets with that 16-gauge. Take it from me, you can be a pathetic shot and still have a zest for breaking airborne clay targets and downing the occasional live game-bird. Consider joining the Parker Gun Collectors Association, if you have not already done so -- the knowledge to be gained and helpfulness is inestimable.

Unfortunately Michael, the PGCA has no information on your serial number upon which to base a research letter. From the picture your VH looks to be in "un-messed with" condition and it was most likely made with 28" barrels.

That’s a great looking set of guns. I had that same rifle only it had a clip magazine. One thing that works on pics posting correctly is to crop them a little. Take pictures that allow you to crop the sides while enlarging the image. Everyone is thirsty to see more pics of that beautiful Parker.

Mike, was your .22 like this one?
This one belongs to a joint-venture partnership. The other partner feeds me missing parts annually. It's almost back together. We need to enlist a certain "machinist" to manufacture a new take-down thumbscrew. |

I have one of those screws that might work. It's off a Savage 29B IIRC. Let me know if you still need it. Last edited by G. Wells; 04-11-2018 at 09:53 PM.. |

Sir, you have a couple pretty darn nice long guns there. I would be proud of either one of them. Just take good care of them and they will take good care of you. JMHO but they are much more fun and enjoyable to take out and use them than to look at hanging on a wall. That VH would work very well on a sporting clays course or a trap range and the 22 Savage would be at home plinking or hunting small game. Hope you have fun and enjoy them. Mark
