Mark,
I have that same gun in original well worn condition. 16 Ga VH, 28 barrels. Mine is a 142XXX numbered gun from 1907. It is an honest gun. It is great to carry and shoot but choked modified and full so mine is tight. Okay for open terrain shooting, but not close quarter combat for grouse and woodcock. Would probably be a great Snipe gun. You're gonna love yours.
Btw one of the most famous exhibition shots of all time used a 16 gauge Parker, and probably for good reasons.
Actually I have some modern sxs with 26 inch barrels and the Parker is close to same overall gun lengths when laid side by side it is hard to tell the difference.
