I was set up next to the owner of the gun and looked it over. I really like the engraving and overall condition on the gun. I think the barrels are correct as I could find no repair codes on them. 16 gauge C grades like that are really scarce. There were also 2 VH 28 gauges and a VH 410 at another table as well. Some really good guns have come through the OGCA over the years.

John-What table was the VH 410 at and what was the condition? I saw one of the 28's that was clear down around row W. It was one of Connecticut shotguns Parkers that the dealer was selling. I didn't see you come by the table or I would have showed you the Winchester 21 Grand American-20 gauge that I bought. After 15 years of looking for a early one(pre-68 before they added a W to the sn) and not one that has been upgraded or redone-I finally found a good one with a factory letter and order sheets.

John,
Thank you for the information about the Parker 16b
It will be visiting Ohio soon
Research letter is being requested
Thanks!
Jim
