I still have the old GH Damascus 30" 12 ga that started the whole thing, 30 some years ago.
Nothing special about her, except for superb quality, handling, devastating patterns, and beautiful Damascus. Other than that, she's just another old shotgun. |

My first was a 20 ga. PH. ..in 1976. I remember thinking that I should not buy it, because I had just gotten married..and bought our first house..an old 20s brick Victorian that I saw through rose colored glasses. Sold it a couple years later to continue restoring the house..So..it's gone..the house is gone..and that wife is gone !

My first, about 5 years ago was a VH 20, 0 frame, 26" barrels,straight grip with replacement wood, that I could not shoot to save my life! The gun must have been really tired when it was restored. upgraded. sold it but now I have 3 12 bores, a DH1 1 frame, a VH 2 frame with half pistol, a GH 3 frame, and a $150.00 grade 10 lifter straight grip

My 1st was 5 years back. 32 inch VH 12. Traded it off for another gun after refinishing the stock and rebluing the barrels.

My first Parker is #12088, grade 2, 12 ga, lifter, 28” bbls, made in 1877. All screws are perfect and the gun hasn’t been touched. The older gent I got it from said it had been in his family for over 100 years. I thought about restoring it but decided I would rather keep it in the original condition. NFS ... never for sale.

My first is a DH12 two barrel set, straight grip, two forends, 30 and 26. Still have it. I took the inheritance from my fathers estate and purchased something that will be handed to the next and next generation. The balance went to my special snowflakes college fund.

At the age of 7 , my mentor Louis C. Goland , gave me a VH 20 bore with 28" barrels . I still have the gun after some 71 years. After all this time ,the gun reminds me of "Mr. Golan" and the times we had together in Keene, NH.I visit his grave site several time a year.
