Default Unexpected VH

Howdy All,
As some of you may know, I am in the middle of an Ithaca crass model double restoration. It's coming along well except a needed buttstock.
I recently placed a bid on a DH 20 bore in the Louis Vaillant estate auction and won. I'm pretty excited over this gun. I'm not expecting too much for the total of $520 including shipping. It's due to arrive tomorrow (Wednesday the 5th). I will post photos to share with everyone.
Yesterday in a local firearms forum I saw an ad for Parker VH $500 obo.
Long story short, I'm not going to pass on a decent VH 30" 12 bore for $400.
Looks like it's going to be a two Parker week. If this is an addiction, I'm in trouble. Here's a couple photos of the VH and it's unoriginal buttstock.
Check out that palm swell.
