[Bruce Biggs]

Greetings all, just joined the forums and will join the PGCA. I'm 55 years old and just inherited my Great Grandfather's Parker VH 12gauge. I believe I was the last person to shoot it when my Uncle took Me and my Brother out to the farm to shoot clays 40+ years ago. I was pleasantly surprised how good of condition it's still in when my Uncle (now 84), shipped it to me. This was a field gun and well used, but the barrels still have a mirror finish inside, and everything still seems tight and works smoothly. All matching parts with SN# 88843 puts it at 1898.

I plan on sending it out to a recommended "Parker" gun smith to have professionally cleaned and checked over, since I don't know that it's ever been done.

This will be handed down to my Son, and will be the first shotgun he ever shoots.

I will peruse the forum to find out the best loads to use as not to damage this shotgun.
