I noticed that also. There is more than what shows in the pic. Bruce I wondered who would be the first to see that. I take that as a good sign of little use. Some things the camera will show up and some things it doesn't. It was cloudy today and so I thought light might be good for pics and I wanted to see how many I could post. I have another one I think I will post some pics of also. We all like to look don't we? I will post as many as I have. Thanks Fellows. Gerald.

Here's a few pics of an old VH 12 ga that I have used for many years can't say how many. This gun has been used heavily as we can tell by the wear on the forearm.However it remains very solid. The bores are also very good and ring true. They are 26 inches uncut, mod and full. Blue about 50% with no pits or dents. Notice the forearm wood has drawn up a little as it does not meet the metal and the checkering is about gone. Wood finish is about 50% but I like it like it is rather than adding finish. Personally I like original better than restored seems more honest. It also is a 1 and 1/2 frame. the barrel weight is 3 8 and the other one is 4 but they weigh the same, strange huh? This is my favorite gun of all my 68 years.I sure hope I don't have to pay up for all the birds I have shot.What do you think? Have a great evening. Gerald.
P.S. The receiver was also brown when I first obtained it. It has worn off mostly just from use and cleaning.

You made a great buy. What a good honest Parker that will provide generations of future use. You can't buy any "new" gun of this quality for $1000.00. Congratulations.
