Default Your choice-what would you do?

So you have some gun money burning a hole in your wallet Your urning for a Parker 20 gauge. Two become available at the same time priced about the same gun 1 a near mint
VHE 20ga 30 " o frame and gun 2 a DHE 20ga 30" o frame with little CC and only 80% blue but all original untouched, excellent mechanical condition and just honest wear.
Which one for you and why??
My heart says take the DHE, my wallet says take the V HE. What say you?

Priced the same? I'd buy them both then move the one that I can't shoot very well on to a good friend. But... a DHE priced the same as a VHE, well I'd have to lean towards the DHE if only for the resale value. Are they same barrel lengths?

A near mint VHE might make for a tough decision to take out and shoot. A DHE with good honest wear would be my choice.

Dig deeper! Sell something you no longer need. Buy them both. 30 inch 20’s are special!

Condition, condition, condition. Buy the VHE. There will be another slightly tired D grade come along soon enough. When was the last time you saw a mint VHE 20 with 30" barrels?
