Parker 20 Gauge VHE Question

[GH-16]

Ed,

You have came across a very unique VHE-20ga. Now that you have the letter you can tell the gun was a special order for a special purpose.

IMHO, Because of the unique nature of this gun it would probably be considered a collectable VHE. If this were my gun I'd leave the original wood on it & keep it as close to the factory specs as possible. Any alterations you do to the gun will de-value the gun. If your not happy with it the way it is, I'd suggest placeing it for sale here in the member section & then look for the Parker which will make you happy & buy it when you find it.

I'd bet there are members who would be willing to trade something of equal value out of their collection for your gun.

Good luck with it, you have a really neat one off 20ga.

I've considered that this was ordered for a unique purpose. I've ruled out that it was for a youth since the weight is 7lbs 7oz. As for the stock, I was fortunate that the previous owner had a new stock made for this gun. I will keep the old stock for value sake.
