Best Hammerless Parker Grade value for your $'s

[GH-16]

Just to add some spice!

My pick would be a Parker Reproduction in 28ga. Yea I know they don't have the Meriden provenance, but their roots are firmly planted there.

The prices for them have gone up recently but when you compare them with an original PB 28ga DHE they are still one heck of a good bang for the buck for what you're getting!

In retrospect I will have to say that I personally have received more bang for my buck with smallbores (20 and 28 gauges) no matter who made them and regardless of grade. YMMV.

Since I have two, one in a 1 frame and one in an 0 frame, I'd have to say GH 16 Damascus.

I find good condition, solid Trojans and VH guns are the ticket. I have picked up nice guns in 12, 16 and 20 this year for a total of under $2K.

Were there stocks included with those guns?

Small bore prices seem to be rising, so I am glad I got mine while I did. I have several GH 16's both 1 and 0 frames, and they are great. I also have three VH 16's. I kind of favor the ones with 26 inch barrels and barrel length makes more of a difference to me than frame size.

I would go with a ph 10 ga with 2 barrels a short 26 inch and a set of 32 s....charlie

I like the GH's and plan to stay with them. Damascus or steel. I have purchased a VH in 20ga because I liked it and the price was not too bad. I would love to have some higher grades but at the moment GH's are for me.

Garry you interpreted my question the way I intended. It seems the 12ga GH damascus and 12ga VH are close in asking price condition being equal. The GH has beautiful damascus barrels, better wood and modest engraving. Craig
