Gun and case

[Autumn Daze]

Dan,Your gun looks to be a nice well used VH 20 ga. The wear on the checkering seems to be consistent with the rest of the gun. A couple of the screws are buggered but that can easily be remedied.Are the barrels 26" long?

Your gun is one up from the lowest grade made by Parker Bros. But don,t despair. All this means is that your gun has less embellishment than the higher grades.And that leg-o-mutton case adds a nice touch also.

The case looks like a 2 barrel set case to me....

[Dan Miles]

The barrels are 24" long. Thanks for the information Dave!

[Dan Miles]

Josh,
The case has a partition inside and only one barrel is going to fit inside the space.

[Dan Miles]

Does anyone know if this case was an original accessory, or is it something that was purchased at another time?

[Bill Murphy]

Show us a picture of the top of the barrels at the muzzle. If the gun has characteristics of an original 24" barrel gun, it would be scarcer and more valuable than a normal VH Grade 20 gauge Parker of another barrel length.
