You have managed to locate some excellent sources
for both Parkers and the occasional Fox.

Ridge, actually it's the other way around. I've been a long time Fox nut (mainly) and thus it's been Foxes and the occasional Parker and Lefever, both of which I'd come to appreciate and look for good ones. The VHE 32" on the front cover of the Winter '21 PP edition is in very high condition and probably unfired since leaving Meriden. The VHE 32" referred to here is in lesser condition, having been used over the water.
Those following this thread may be interested in an upcoming article in the DGJ that elaborates on the 1919-22 experimentation with 12-gauge/3-inch progressive shells and "borings" for the
Special Long Range waterfowl guns, in particular the Super-Fox and the somewhat underappreciated LC Smith Long Range. It’s likely to be in the Summer edition.
