Greets from West Virginia. I registered for the forum last year but just joined the club. I bought a very pedestrian 1916 build VHE 12 ga last year and after finding a very gentle load for it I love shooting it.
I have know begun a search for a lighter 20ga and have my eye on two candidates. I look forward to learning about the history of these great pieces.
Thanks for having me.

Welcome Bernie and good luck with your search - there are plenty of Parker 20's out there.

Hi Bernie, where in WV are you from. I live in Wheeling. Congrats on that first Parker, and good luck on that 20. I carried my grouse gun a little VHE 20 pheasant hunting today

Uh-Oh, sounds like you have the virus (the good one!), Bernie. It's funny how one Parker can lead to another.

Welcome!
