Here's the 1926 #1-frame steel-bbld 24" PHE 16 I just got from Trigg. I can't remember how many were made in this configuration but not many. It's been carried a bit but has not been shot much. It locks up very tight and the lever is still to the right. Ejectors are perfectly timed and strong. Bores are mint. Wood very nice and finish good. A good honest Parker that has generations of use yet to come. Perfect dimensions for me and balances very nice. I swore I wasn't going to get into the 16ga game but I've always liked this gun and Trigg still had and gave me back the case of 16ga ammo I gave him years ago.... I will be using some of them up next fall in Minnesota.

Just measured the chokes. Seems choked Cyl/Cyl. Maybe they've been opened. Not enough light yet to get a good look down the bbls. Should be deadly on woodcock and grouse in heavy cover...
