Affordable G grade Parkers.

I just paid $999 for what is to me, a very nice gun, a GH. I won't get the gun into my hands for another week and a half. The bores are fine, but I can see where it's been shot. The engraving is sharp, and it has some case colors. The wood, what I can see, looks very nice with honey and walnut hues that look like smoke. Forearm has seen pretty heavy use, dings. Latch looks fine as does the little metal tip. I don't know the chokes. It has a mechanical problem, it doesn't cock when it's dropped open, but there is a great old gun, gunsmith here (Kearcher) who said he'd fix it for a C note. Opening lever needs some work as it lines up left of center.

The gun sat on the gun rack for almost a year. The seller said that someone who appreciated Parkers would have to come along and buy it. Welp......that's me.

I will enjoy this gun as long as I live. Just under a K. Money well spent.
