Beautiful! Thanks, James. I wish I was there right now.

I don’t have many good action shots, but here is my contribution.

A recently acquired VH28, and a 28 repro I’ve since sailed down the river for a 28 repro with a DT.

A very nice pair! Tell us more about the VH, please.

The VH 28 is nothing special. It is your typical 26” barrels 00 frame with twin ivory beads. At some point it was converted to a straight grip from its original PG, at least the letter, book, and condition of the wood relative to the rest of the gun would lead me to believe so. The trigger guard was properly extended as well. The job was well done, but I’m unsure who did it. Forend might be the refinished original, not really sure, doesn’t matter to me. The gun was in my tax bracket and dimensions.

Very nice! Is it choked suitable for woodcock? Looks like a bird killer.

It’s choked for a little bit longer range game. M/M

“Nothing special”…?

It’s a Parker Brothers twenty-eight gauge, and IMO that’s special enough for me!

I agree with Dean…a special little gun.
