Thoughts on this vh 16

[GH-16]

Richard,
I've looked at this gun at one of the shows last year. It is a fairly nice gun that has been restored and unfortunately not by someone that knows how to do Parkers correctly.

What I'm making reference to is the case hardening process that was used on this gun produced case colors that are not true to original Parker colors. I also see that the wood may have been sanded down & the metal may be proud of the wood in places.

The good news here is the seller is a very reputable stand-up guy & he's had this gun for a while now. If I was interested in it. I would call him and ask a bunch of questions. Then make him an offer at a lower price which would make the few issues with the gun more bearable. The up-side on this one is it is an O-frame 16ga that tips the scales under 6lb. It would make one fine light carrying 16ga shooter.
