Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Nice gun. Looks a lot like my 32" VH I bought last fall. Mine was built in 21 and choked F/M. But very similar other then that. My barrels were incorrectly blued(freer gun shop is handling that), and they had blued the top lever( I have since corrected), but I like and and you should enjoy yours. I ended up refinishing the stock myself because it had a lot of oil in the neck, but yours looks good. Like the straight grip, mine was PG.
The pinning looks to be done well. If it ever bothers you I believe Mr. Dudley can make those pin spots go away. But if they don't bother you, I say leave em alone. They are part of the gun's history.

I talked to Danny Patton about the pins already and we came to the decision that they didn't hurt anything .
The drop in the stock is 1 1/2" and 2" . I "think" this gun and I may get along very well .
I haven't checked under the trigger guard for the serial number on the wood but I doubt seriousely that the woods been swapped on this gun .
Twenty or so years ago I had a VH #1 frame 16 gauge with a straight grip stock , 30" pipes choked F&F . Wish I had it back now it would've made a fair to middlin clays gun as well I think .
