should I shoot my old Parker or hang it up

[Gerald McPherson]

Insure for $4000 plus. Shoot 1 or 1 1/8 loads. # 6 shot will kill old tom. Don't put it on display or someone else may own the gun before long. Put it away safely as the previous owners surely did. After you use it for a while you will see what a Parker is all about. Congratulations.
I am sure someone near you that knows enough about Parkers will turn up to take a look at it for you.

John,

I grew up in Va Beach. Most of my family is still there. There are several Parker savy people in the area.

I will be there this Saturday and Sunday for a conference.
PM me if you would like to get together.
I can bring my wall thickness gauge to help evaluate the barrel wall thickness. I am no professional but I can at least look it over and give you my opinion.

John,

Your gun appears to be a DH. There are no ejectors (what the E in DHE means), and it has an extractor. Very nice gun, especially the straight stock.
