NH Parker boys

[StubTwist]

This was a really nice gun. It had some nice surviving case on the receiver. The points on the stock checking was worn flat but the pattern was still there. A really nice EH 3 frame with honest wear. They would have taken a 1000 for it but like Steve said, I've got plenty of 10's.

I just returned from 3 days at the Maryland Arms Collectors show at Baltimore. Apart from one 00 frame 28ga VH, and an overpriced VH20, the bulk of Parker offerings was ridden-hard 12bore DH and GH guns, albeit bargain basement prices. People seem to be hanging onto high condition, and small bore guns.
I sold a huge part of my Winchester lever collection, and came home with cash and nothing to replace them with.

I had planned on coming up Saturday expressly to meet you in person . And all my usual help that let my dogs out and feed them were unavailable . And I wasn’t about to leave them caged for twelve or so hours .

With the current gas prices, you would have been sorely disappointed, but you could have carpooled with my brother-in-law, I think you're neighbors.
There were a few tables with your kind of guns; 4 and 8 bores, barrels from here to eternity. One, so long it needed a telescope to see the front bead.

So, Edgar, tell us about the VH 28 with 00 frame. Who has it for sale? Was it a 32" or maybe a 34" barrel gun? Sorry I didn't bring my 28 for you to inspect, but I couldn't physically carry it into the show. My cane and walker and a ham sandwich were about all I could carry.
