I am growing to love the Parker 20's.
My Damascus GH that I brought for the display at the Southern got the duty call this past Sunday morning in the Dove field. I went 15 for 23 with it! It is 28" close to 7lbs, although an 0 frame, and choked IC/Full....the perfect Dove gun!

I only have one Parker 20 gauge ! And the one I have I’ve wanted for fifty years , first remmember seeing it when I was 7 or 8 . It belonged to a family friend that owned the local Gunshop and he kept it on the wall in his shop but not for sale . His father gave it to him when he was in Hamden Sydney in the late 50’s and his father had bought it from the original owner . I bet I asked two hundred times if he was ready to sell it and my father asked quite a few times as well . And when he brought it in to my buddies shop to sell it he told him to give me the first crack at it . This gun is probably the best condition Parker I own even if it’s only a VHE . The pics are of a dove shoot with the little 20 about four or five years ago and a Pheasent preserve hunt two years ago . Down the road I’d like to add a couple more 20’s a VH/VHE 26” , a GH/GHE and perhaps a DH/DHE . But like many things time will tell .

That is one nice VHE! No reason not to love it!

Mark, I couldn't agree more ...
Took a limit of dove last weekend shooting the gun I got for my oldest grandson. It's a round knob VH 20 with 28" barrels and factory Cyl & Mod chokes. The best upland gun that I have ever owned... Thank you Jeff ! ! Karl |

No doubt there is just something special about 20ga Parkers, without planning it I find myself with 5 , a Trojan ,2 VH ,a VHE and a DH. My hunting partner just got his first Parker a 20ga VH that he just loves.

Bill,
It is a Galco with the velcro flap stamped x-small on the bottom. |
