I know of one BH 10 ga and maybe the owner will decide to let it go this year. Parker only made 28 I think so my chances are very low of finding one.

What, no G or P or even V?

I wanna find a VH/VHE 28 on a 00 frame , a 16 gauge GH on an 0 frame , an EH 10 with factory original 26” barrels and the real needle in the haystack an EH 10 with factory original 24” barrels . And yeah if they were acquired they’d be used by me ! Oh yeah Grade 2 top lever 10’s on 4 and 5 frames wouldn’t be turned down .

Did you miss that refinished 28 VH in Madison that sold for $3900 last year? It looked to be a nice gun. A friend of mine told me about it after the auction was over and he knew I would have been interested. A lot of good that did.

I was at the auction standing there watching . The barrels were cut the metal was loosely called refinished , the wood was refinished , the barrels had been cut , the wood to metal fit was horrible , gun was an 0 frame as well as I can remember the serial number dated it at 1902 or 3 . You missed nothing , if you had purchased it you woulda've had a small fortune in it to make it decent and it would always be not anywhere near the way it left the factory .

To find that pristine LATE production, 16 GA, DHE, 1 frame, with 26 or 28" barrels.
I have had a set of orphaned 30" barrels and forend for years that need to be coupled to a great gun.

Dean: I have a NH (PH) 6 frame 10 gauge I would consider a EH (GH) 6 frame 10 gauge.

I want to try to find the time to make some good progress on a 12g A-1 special build as well as maybe get barreled actions put together for 20 and 28g builds.

And I would like to try and find time to write a few Parker Pages articles that I have had in the hopper for a while.

Craig, I hadn't thought about selling or trading my BH 10 hammerless World's Fair gun, but keep me in mind if you come up with something special. Presently, it is wearing a set of late #3 frame ten gauge Titanic barrels which fit it quite well. It has a less than acceptable restock, but the metal is astounding.

I don't plan my Parker purchases. I just look at the sites often and jump on something if I really want it. My planning for 2019 will not involve Parkers but planting sorghum in the spring on the property. As soon as the ground is workable in the spring, we'll plow and disk the areas where I want the sorghum. Sorghum makes great cover and food for the pheasants. It’s time for a new seed drill so I’ve been looking on line for one for sale within decent driving distance. I don’t want to spend a lot of money on it since I only use it to make 7 foot strips on five of the fields. I’m not planting the whole fields for money crops, just making cover and feed for the pheasants. No need to make an investment in a brand new seed drill. I’m looking forward to planting time. For me, it’s a lot of fun.

Charlie, I have way enough Parkers, but I am still on the hunt for an original 40-42 Willys coupe or sedan. I am not much of a farmer, but I have the foundation laid for a garage for the Willys.
