First time Parker owner from Nh

[Fran Gordon]

Hello all.
Just wanted to introduce myself from NH.
Just purchased my first Parker and its hard to keep my hands of it.
But....I dont imagine anyone here would understand that...right?

[Fran Gordon]

What i have purchased is a VH 12ga #2 2 barrel set, one being damascus in high original condition.The shotgun itself would rate 95+ color would rate 35-40%.

Very proud of this find.

[Fran Gordon]

Looking forward to learning all I can from you like minded folks.

[Dean Romig]

Those Damascus barrels would have been added at a later date as Parker Bros. made the VH models with Vulcan Steel barrels.

Please show us some pictures of your Parker.

Welcome to the PGCA forum.

Hello Dean...thanks for your reply.
I will post some photos tomorrow as I have the day off.
The Damascus barrels are serialed to the shotgun which according to this site was Manufactured in 1904

[Fran Gordon]

the 30" vulcan steel included obviously.

I recommend you join the PGCA as an annual member ($40) ane order a research letter at the member price ($40) and you might find out some interesting provenance on your VH.

I had a beautiful set of Damascus barrels fitted to my 1899 DH that was manufactured with Titanic Steel barrels and I had the Damascus barrels numberes to the gun.

Where in NH are you?

[Fran Gordon]

And you beat on Dean, we can see where it started.Now i am in for it.

That’s Walpole NH, a beautiful historic New England town.

As a matter of fact ...I'm headed to my local candy store for some RST loads.

Pheasant season here is still 3 weeks out.

[Fran Gordon]

Yes Dean....It is beautiful here.
Game rich as well.

[edgarspencer]

And you beat on Dean, we can see where it started.Now i am in for it.

Dan, you’re safe. Dean has that Je ne sais quoi that just needs regular beatings.
He’s tolerable now, but can you imagine what he’d be like without the periodic zinger? He’s rapidly closing in on 25,000 posts, and he’s going to be even harder to love then.

Just across the river from lovely Fellows Ba, I mean Bellows Falls. All my cousins grew up there. My uncle had a wire company in Walpole.

[Harry Collins]

I am really interested in your Parker, Fran. I had a DH two barrel set with the 28" barrels Damascus and the 30" barrels Titanic Steel. I also have a GH with Vulcan barrels. One never knows when it comes to Parkers. I too would also like to see pictures.

Kindest, Harry

[Fran Gordon]

My apologies for the lack of pictures.
My wife and daughter had all my attention today.
I wont deprive you.

[Dean Romig]

We know how that works Fran. You get a pass.
