Default Latest acquisition

20 ga DHE Repro out of an estate sale in Arizona. Not an original Parker, but will do. Shot skeet with it today for the first time and was pleased with the results. 26"bbls, mod and improve cycl chokes. Came with leather case which is off to Mr. Huey for a couple of minor repairs. Gun was hardly shot at all. no nicks, dings, case colors remain strong (we'll fix that this Fall bird hunting in Maine I suppose). Now if I could just find that 28 ga Parker or Parker Repro for the right price....

Looks a lot like the 20 gauge Repro I bought earlier this year. I am very pleased with mine as well.

I'm thinking of having Dan Cullity engrave the family initials on the emblem. I don't want my grandson to ever forget it comes from the Newell side of the family.

Allen,
Looks great. I just love a 20ga. got 2 VH 20ga right now. One restored (DelGrego?) with straight grip and beaver forearm in exhibition grade walnut. The other a VH with pistol grip and beaver forearm both very nice wood, a real bird gun. Got a sixteen VH on an O frame that Brian Dudley is helping me get into shape, I think it will be a real shooter as well.

Speaking of 28ga. I bought one back when they were first produced. Shot I a few times but it was so nice I wouldn't take it out much, didn't want to damage it. At that point in my life I really couldn't afford to keep it if I wasn't going to use it so I sold it to a friend who still has it. I could kick my A!!! now but at the time seemed the best to do.
LIve and learn.
Congrats.
Gerald

PS: Yes, I would have the family initials done.

at $2800, I just couldn't pass this one up. Don't know why the seller let it go for that price. If I could find a 28ga for that kind of money, I'd be on it like stink on s#$t! Oh yeah.

That was a real bargain, Allen! That's what they sold for in the mid 80's. Congratulations!
