Hi-
Some more information on your DH (gauge, serial number, stock measurements, and most of all, lots of pictures might help our many expert members (certainly not this guy) to give you some advice re how to proceed.
Was your DH hot-blued? If so, that might be a factor-as it might have weakened the parts within.
All I can say is that most any DH with good tubes has worth. I did buy one 20 VHE (my first Parker) that had the receiver hot-blued and decided to have it completely rebuilt a few years back as sporting clays daily driver. I even opened the chokes, the only time I have ever done so. I spent more on this VHE than it will be worth for longer than I will live, but it is a great go-to 20.
