Inherited a Parker - trying to figure what I have
 
Inherited a Parker and not sure exactly what I have!

Serial says was manufactured in 1907 - sxs with a V and a 0. Also has a 2 1 4 staggered. Any thoughts?

With a serial number and pictures we may be able to tell you more. Sounds like a V grade gun. 2 14 may be the unstruck barrel weight. Maybe a 28 gauge?

16 gauge VH with 26 inch barrels per the serial number book. O frame. Best Woodcock gun Parker made imo.

Thanks for info! That is what I gathered from the info too but was unsure of the H part because I didn’t see it on there. It looks like it has ejectors or extractors, I will put some shells in it and see one I return home from this trip!

looks to be missing the screw that holds the extractor from coming all the way out or its broke off

Contact Brian Dudley for the missing screw.

That statement may account in part for a gun of exactly those specifics having been, implausibly, voted first prize winner in the 2021 Upland Gun-themed “People’s Choice” awards.

16 ga vh's were the classic New England grouse gun back in the day
