new Parker owner from Eastern Long Island...way east. i have a 1904 VH that needed some stock repair. i did that and ran a box of shells through it and i am amazed at the quality of this shotgun. it's hard to believe its 120 years old. very nice to find this resource ....

thanks Joe.. i had some walnut stock blank lumber i pirated as small piece from. what amazes me is the lock up and the fit...we are talking a year after the wright brothers. Haha...i realize i'm preaching to the choir!

1904 is a great year for Parkers, and that one helps make the case. Welcome, and enjoy your nice gun.

close up of the repair....i can see the ghost of the new wood but didn't want to make it any darker. unlike many i like just a hint of etching in the metal and on shotguns lighter wood and almost no shine. thanks Garry..Glad i got a vintage year...just beginners luck.
