I will also show a few pix of the 16 ga DH. It too was rebuilt but by Brad Belchelder. I have already shot this gun with RST's and it patterns absolutely perfectly.

I should mention that these are the first Parkers I have owned. My double collecting has always leaned toward Ithaca and Fox. I bought these two guns and a 1936 Beretta S2 which had been completely redone all in a two week period. The Beretta had always been one of my bucket list guns and these two just really pulled at me. I don't generally buy for investment, just what I really like. That said, I try to buy for value, if that makes any sense. I don't buy to make money but I hate losing it. Since these were sold on a public auction site, I doubt there is much privacy, so I don't mind saying I paid $3425 for the GH and $3775 for the DH. Not wanting an appraisal, but do these prices seem in line with the market. I am just trying to learn about the brand and playing field.

Just to finish the series, here is a picture of the S2; 1936 date, Double triggers, light Krupp game barrels, solid rib, ejectors and custom gold work and blueing by Bill Mains. No idea on the stock work. This gun actually feels like something alive in your hands and is as mechanically precise as any shotgun I have ever seen.
