I have to agree that a D grade 20 gauge hammerless would be the gun, If the gun was in good condition and fit. That would be about all ten grand would buy in a sub gauge gun, and you would have a middle grade Parker, Now on the other hand I would have to wait till I had a windfall of cash to get my gun! a AA Hammer gun with Whitworth barrels, guess I will just dream on! Merry Christmas to all you guys and gals hope your stocking will be full of Parker goodies! Gary

Two !! Parkers

12 G 30 Inch DH's as from Meriden, no alterations, condition not so high I would be afraid to use them. Just alike in every respect.

If that Turnbull Parker was a 20 I'd be tempted to chase the moths from my checkbook.

I missed the boat several years back when Galazan was selling the remaining inventory of in-the-white A1-Special Parker Reproduction 2-bbl. sets. Give me that $10K today and I promise I won't miss that boat again. Make mine a little twenty-eight please.

Recent prices on tired Purdeys have been very soft. If you want a Purdey, keep your nose to the ground.

Thank you all for your input. The responses were all very interesting and have decided to look for one of the following in 2017, and buy the best deal: 1) Win 21 16ga 28" IC/Full PG BT SST, 2) Parker 16ga 0 frame Top Lever 28" IC/Full PG SF DT Best grade and condition affordable and in 50xxx-54xxx serial range or 3) Parker 16ga 0 or 1 frame Hammerless IC/Full PG SF SST or DT Best grade and condition affordable.

I'll be flexible to barrel choke configuration but like the wide/tight patterns. I've been shooting IC/Full for most of my life and for almost everything including quail... never seem to get that second close shot off fast enough. So I'm going to stick with what has worked best for me. I have 2 Win 21's now, 20 and 12, and would like to slot in a 16. A Parker 16 would take me in a new direction and would be alongside my 12 Top Lever and 20 3-barrel Repro. I thank our excellent economy for giving me this opportunity to buy a great gun.

Sounds like a good plan to me
