Hello All, I was at an estate sale doing my usual digging for Antique & vintage fishing tackle. The estate was of a pretty renowned Trap & Skeet man his name was Walter Higley. Denver, CO. I bought a couple of buttstocks, one from a Model 21 I think a 20 gauge #14482, another from a Parker I recognized the checkered butt and shield on stock and serial #237,731 has this gun come to market ? The Aunt, I guess was his sister and got into the house and literally made off with all the best guns, around 30 as the story goes. Rifles pistols and shotguns. I also found the hang tag to the Model 21 but it is standard with specs to a particular 32" gun, and hang tag from Browning O/U. I am sure mister Higley either had the gun restocked or did it himself as he was an accomplished machinist. Actually the gems in the sale were his two H. Gerstner Oak Machinists chests packed with machinists tools and gauges. They were expensive but a very beautiful group.... So is there any possibilty this gun is on the market ? I would love to have a crack at it. VHE 26 checkered butt, code #14 Ejectors, Single trigger, large fore end.. That's as close as I have come to a Parker in any condition from a sale in some time... Best,Paul
