NHHunter,

That's a fine old Parker, classic in every regard and one I would think any member of this board would be proud to own. I have always thought a 16 ga V epitomized what Parker did. Fundamentally, they are the same as the highest grade guns but made to be hunted; above average wood and just enough engraving on the receiver to show they were carefully engraved by hand; and there is nothing wearing feathers that can't be taken humanly with an appropriate 16 ga load. A very elegant gun in it's own right. Congratulations.
