Last weekend I drove two hours to Lexington, NC for a big 250 gun auction. There were many assorted doubles there, and I think five or six were Parker's. the main reason I went....a 20ga VH, and a 20ga DHE! The 20ga VH turned out to be a 12ga that was monoblocked to be a 20, and was in awful condition. The DHE turned out to be a GHE, in horrible condition and sporting a non original Beavertail and Vickers steel barrels. I didn't even stay long enough to see what they went for. I was high on the Auctions at one time, but my enthusiasm is dwindling.
