Default New to me 16VH

This is my first 16 gauge Parker. A VH made in 1907 on a #1 frame with 30" barrels choked M/F. In one of the pictures you can see a 2 on the forend and on the barrels where the forend connects. These must be the second set of barrels...it would be nice to run across the first set.

The gun shot well. It looks like someone tried to clean up the wood at some point there also looks to be varnish or lacquer over some of the metal parts and frame. I don't want to rush and clean anything, but my guess that would come off without too much effort.

It is nice to finally have a 16
