Default A VH with fairly good condition

"Buy condition" is good advice that I (sad to say) don't always follow. If my wallet was a bit fatter I'd always buy high-condition high-grade Parkers - many of which we've seen proudly displayed on this forum. However, even with my wallet it's still possible to buy good Parkers with reasonably good condition.

Here's a 1928 VH 12-gauge that I couldn't pass up. I'm more interested in 16-gauge guns and was actually looking for one when this one came to my attention. Upon my first in-hand inspection it became immediately obvious that it wasn't in the 99% condition as advertised. But at the price I paid I feel that both the seller and I came out about even.

Lighting clearly plays a role in how case colors are viewed which was interesting to me as a hacker photographer. I was also keen to see the case coloring on the triggers. Bruce Day had mentioned that in another post and I had never known that little factoid before seeing these on this gun.

Built on a 1 1/2 frame with 28" tubes and weighing just a tad under 7# 1oz it's as light as some of my 16-gauge guns. Plus, it retains a lot of nice original case color and blue. A good honest gun.
