New member with newly acquired VH 12

William Mitchel · 12-26-2015, 07:36 PM

What a wonderful wife I have ! She found a Parker VH 12 gauge with 30 inch barrels on 1 1/2 frame in good condition and bought it for me for Christmas! Nicely repaired chip on the heel, good blue, bright barrels, barely visible case color, tight action, quite nice wood. S/N 200xxx places her date of birth in 1922 ( the gun, not my wife :-)).

I haven't had much time to browse here yet but like what I've seen. Hope y'all are having happy holidays!

Mike, thx for the welcome, glad to be here, my VH pics are on this thread:

nothing special, but a shooter, Brian Dudley has it for a good going over and a silvers pad to replace the broken toe & butt plate...

tis my first Parker, likely more on the horizon!
