Welcome to the PGCA Stefan. Nice gun you have there, really nice wood. Here's one that had a lot of engraving added at a later date with the intention of it being an upgrade. You can do a little searching on the forum and I feel certain you will find several examples.

I got my first Parker, a VH 16, when I was probably 31, am 66 now, and have 3 20's, 4 16's, and a 12. I have 3 English setters over which I hunt grouse, woodcock, pheasant and quail.
I recall another VH 20 upgrade similarly engraved owned by another PGCA member, that he loaned to my buddy to shoot at Drakes Landing a few yrs ago.
Thank you! Trust me, I’m already addicted to double guns. Always had my eye on a Parker and now that I have one in my hands, I know it won’t be the last. Next on my list will have to be an 0 frame 16ga. I’m a sucker for a light 16.

Stefan,

If you have not discovered RST Shells http://www.rstshells.com/store/p/115...-Load-Box.aspx these are my favorite for the 16. Very easy on shooter and gun plus they pattern so beautifully and kill cleanly.

Kindest, Harry

Yes you would like O frame 16's, I have a DHE, a GH, and a16 hammer gun on the O frame. Now there is another addiction, hunting and shooting with hammer guns--good stuff. My VH 16 is a 1 frame.

Hi Stephan, I'm in NE Florida and just joined the group. I just acquired my first Parker sxs 12 ga s/n 53006 and I am trying to learn more about it. I don't hunt much here in Florida but go up to Virginia where I was raised (it's too hot here). I have a German Shorthair Pointer who is an excellent squirrel dog. Beautiful gun you have there. Cheers!
