Here are a few pics of the BHE, the hammer gun is haveing the stock tweaked at the moment.
The gun was ordered by C. E. Robbins of Fargo N.D. 12/15/03 choked full & full. Straight stock with a fully checkered forarm and a Silvers pad. It was returned by Mr. Robbins 12/2/07 to retarget to shoot 65% at 40 yards, clean, tighten and redo the barrels. It was returned again in August 1916 by J.E. Johnson also of Fargo, N.D. to restock the charge was $25.

Not in the league with Rich, but a 1906 VH 16 gauge on a 0 frame with 28" barrels. Just got it yesterday. 6.1 Lbs.

I didn't buy it but I was sure tempted. I was at L.L. Bean in Freeport Maine today and handled a very nice 16 ga. VH on a 1 frame with 30" barrels. It has sling swivels and I don't know if they were installed in Meriden or later. Asking price is $1,499 and I thought that price is more than reasonable for such a nice Parker. It has nice modern dimensions too. Still kickin' myself.
