While I drool over a beautiful firearm most of my collection consists of firearms that were acquired in less than perfect condition and turned into a good looking working firearm. Currently I am working on a 1906 VH that I received in pieces for $100. When I am finished it will be a good looking working shotgun that I would not be ashamed to take to any range. It will not be a high end collector gun.
Mark: What are jug chokes? I would prefer modified and full, but would accept improved and modified. |

My go to gun, a 12ga, 2 frame, GH made in 1904. I don't believe it's ever been apart. Original except for the chokes opened up. Standard engraving but deeply cut.

Any FFL type of guy should be able to get 15% from Briley just by asking.

PASxS, that is stand out engraving on that G grade. Cant miss that from no matter what distance. And Chilled Shots example is very nice as well. Even though case coloring is nice, engraving stands out very well on most worn silver receivers. And recolored receivers ofter have finer, and harder to see, engraving due to polishing if not touched up.
The GH was one of Parkers most popular selling graded guns in their day and they are still plentiful today. I would say it is one of the most common Parkers that you see for sale on the auction sites.
