Great post, honesty is a virtue so they say. A lot of caveats on that one.
As to the college fund for kids being in jeopardy, my 0 frame 16 came from a gentleman who bought Parkers through the years and was selling them as needed for college tuition, so it all works out. That gun is a 16 VHE from 1921 28 inch mod & fuller. The brass gauge will just barely go in that full barrel but it fits me and I shoot it better than any other double I have ever owned. It just seems to have all the qualities that make a great shooter. Other Parkers that I own, of various descriptions just don't shoot with it. Keep looking and you will find such a Parker and a sure bet is it may be an 0 frame 16. I honestly think the craftsmen who build them gave them a little extra attention.
