			Welcome Craig!   
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	You appear to have a much worn VH. VH 12 gauges are probably the most common Parker out there. Yours has 32" barrels and longer barrels are a plus these days. Other folks on here can tell you more.  |

			Thanks for the replies.    
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	I didn't have any reason to believe it was anything special, mostly, I just wanted to make sure before I "modified" it for home protection.  |

			Please DONT modify for home protection. There are plenty of inexpensive Remington 870s and Mossberg 500s for that. And if an intruder does not recognize the distinct sound of “racking” a pump gun, then let the fun begin. That said, a PARKER shotgun of and configuration and grade will never be made again and they are a big part of American made classic sporting Arms. Clean the old girl up and have it checked out by a qualified double gun smith. Then decide on its fate. A family gun is a cherished possession.

			Sorry,   did not mean to offend. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	I have no children to hand this down to. Once I know the rough value, I'll put it on Gun Broker and use the money to buy something more appropriate. I'll post the value request now. Do I let folks know when it's on Gun Broker or is that not allowed. Again, I do not mean to cause any issues. Thanks, Craig  |

			No issues. Post some pertinent pictures here and some will give an opinion as to value to use as a guide line.
