First time Parker owner from Nh

[Fran Gordon]

Hello all.
Just wanted to introduce myself from NH.
Just purchased my first Parker and its hard to keep my hands of it.
But....I dont imagine anyone here would understand that...right?

[Fran Gordon]

What i have purchased is a VH 12ga #2 2 barrel set, one being damascus in high original condition.The shotgun itself would rate 95+ color would rate 35-40%.

Very proud of this find.

[Fran Gordon]

Looking forward to learning all I can from you like minded folks.

Those Damascus barrels would have been added at a later date as Parker Bros. made the VH models with Vulcan Steel barrels.

Please show us some pictures of your Parker.

Welcome to the PGCA forum.

Hello Dean...thanks for your reply.

The Damascus barrels are serialed to the shotgun which according to this site was Manufactured in 1904

I recommend you join the PGCA as an annual member ($40) ane order a research letter at the member price ($40) and you might find out some interesting provenance on your VH.

I had a beautiful set of Damascus barrels fitted to my 1899 DH that was manufactured with Titanic Steel barrels and I had the Damascus barrels numberes to the gun.

Where in NH are you?
