Default Well this is not going as planned buying a Parker

I took a trip up to Robin Hollow today to trade some stuff in and "look around." My goal was to find an honest, used, original 16 or 12g "field" gun, something I intend to use, not park in a safe. Selected a 28" VH 16 #1 that has a history borne by it's marks (I wish I really knew it's history). The problem was that there was also a 16g Trojan #1 26" barrels in better condition that just kept pulling me back to it. I never even wanted a Trojan, didn't want to look at it, but he handed it to me and said "You're not leaving until you look hard at this gun.'' So I came home with TWO Parkers. Don't know what it was about the Trojan, I couldn't leave it, it just felt too right. I left at 5am in a driving snowstorm, just got back after 11 hours driving. Serial numbers and photos to follow, probably tomorrow morning. I'm whipped and think the disease is now full blown or at least Stage 4. I blame everyone on this forum by the way.
