Default VH 12g twins in Alabama

These two identical guns manufactured in 1904 and 1905 predated my dad's birth. I've received PGCA letters for each and I'm unaware of their provenance between their first sale and their appearance in my dad's gun case. They were in rough shape when I got them in the 90's and Delgrego did a wonderful restoration of them in the mid 90's. I've shot them both a few times but I sure enjoy the feel of them and the way they look. They'll surely be hand-me-downs to my children. Here are some pictures...

Nice story and good looking pair of guns. Great family history.

Very nice family Parkers you have there.

Has that crack been repaired or was it recently cracked and just hasn't been out for repair yet?

Thanks guys. That crack was there when I inherited the guns. I believe Delgrego put some sort of reinforcement on the stock there.

I don’t see a tang screw either. Get it properly repaired before it gets worse.
