Serial number 124870 was built in 1904. At that time the Quality VH was the lowest priced hammerless gun that Parker Bros. offered. There were more VH guns made than any other Parker, 12-gauge was the most common gauge, with 30-inch barrels the most common length. So, a gun in barely fair condition just doesn't have much market demand.
My father's waterfowl gun was the same gun, a 12-gauge, 30-inch, 2-frame, VH from a couple of years earlier and it still resides in my gunroom.
