You know I never really noticed it until I was sitting here last night playing with the 12 top lever I just acquired , but a 12 hammer gun actually looks elegant after horseing around 10 gauge for so long LOL's :whistle:

That is true. Along with the early 1 frame 12 gauge hammerless Parkers

Very true Craig..... Next, try a sixteen. :D

16 gauge hammer guns are the things dreams are made of.

How does the song go? Get out of my dreams and into my life? Or something like that. Maybe I will finally land one in 2019

16 hammer gun ? They seem a bit to pricey although a grade 2 top lever might test me . Preferably on a 1 frame with 26” or 28” barrels .

They are pricey. That has stopped me so far.

First Parker we ever had was a 12 VHE on a 1 frame which we still have . But the 16 VH on the 1 frame I got a couple months ago seems a bit more dainty shall we say .

I don’t own a Parker hammergun gun in 16 (I have an underlifter 12) but I do have a Belgian gun. It was fairly inexpensive but sweeeet to shoot. I find myself usually turning to it with RST shells for upland birds.

What amount is too much to pay for a svelte sixteen bore Parker Bros hammer gun? They carry beautifully - shoot beautifully - instill a 'pride of ownership'- take up less space in the safe, thereby allowing more room for more Parker sixteens... Those things alone must be worth a certain premium... :whistle:
