20 gauge 2 barrel set
Tough decision
I have been offered a new in the box Parker DHE 20 gauge 2 barrel set 26” and 28” with cases and snap caps. But single trigger which is not my favorite. Very nice wood ! I have the a 20, 28 and a 12 all DHE. Price is $6800. Seems to be be a little high and non negotiable at this time. Opinions please. |

When I started collecting Parker Guns 55 years ago I was lucky enough to have had a longtime mentor who cautioned me, "Don't buy something you don't really want, because you'll never be truly happy with it." His words stood me in very good stead over time and to this very day.

Bob, Reproductions have dramatically increased in value over the last few years. That price is pretty consistent with what I've been seeing on Guns International and other web sites.

I, personally, have never been tempted by a single trigger Repro. Just not my thing.

Per advice on this Fourm I had it taken apart and cleaned. I had it for about 25 years but never shot it. I’m assuming this one would require the same treatment. Bob |

Double trigger would kill it for me. I had a beautiful 20 DHE that I had Carol(believe name is right) select for me at the warehouse for dark and highly figured wood. I kept it for a couple years. It weighed 6 lb 12 oz which I came to believe was too much for a 20 gauge bird gun. Might be alright for clays though. I do think as a general rule they weigh quite a bit for a 20.

If you are buying to keep it, then only buy the exact gun you are looking for. Never "settle" as you will always be still looking for the one you really want. Now if you are buying to resell then you are paying top dollar for this gun and would have to hold on to it for a while to make any money.
