Default Inherited a Parker - trying to figure what I have

Inherited a Parker and not sure exactly what I have!

Serial says was manufactured in 1907 - sxs with a V and a 0. Also has a 2 1 4 staggered. Any thoughts?

With a serial number and pictures we may be able to tell you more. Sounds like a V grade gun. 2 14 may be the unstruck barrel weight. Maybe a 28 gauge?

16 gauge VH with 26 inch barrels per the serial number book. O frame. Best Woodcock gun Parker made imo.

Thanks for info! That is what I gathered from the info too but was unsure of the H part because I didn’t see it on there. It looks like it has ejectors or extractors, I will put some shells in it and see one I return home from this trip!

That statement may account in part for a gun of exactly those specifics having been, implausibly, voted first prize winner in the 2021 Upland Gun-themed “People’s Choice” awards.

A 16g on an O frame with unstruck bbl weight of 2-14!! Shoot plenty of birds with that beauty! I'd love to inherit a gun like that.

Looking at photo number 2, I'd say you have a gun with a shell extractor rather than an ejector gun.
