That's an unfair characterization Mike. You're just buying smartly and getting the most for your money. Nothing wrong with that. And you're not alone.

I think the Quality VH is the deal. They were available in all six common bores, could be had with every option, and there are more of them than any others.

I grew up with my grandfathers 16 ga VH. Shot a lot of woodcock, grouse and pheasant with that 16 in and around the Neponsett Meadows long before housing developments ruined the covers there. I still have that 16 and had Lawrence DelGrego restore it a number of yrs ago. The VH grade Parkers are great guns. My view is they shoot just as well without all the fancy engraving and wood. Imagine that.ol

For me, a GH is hard to beat in bang for the buck. 3 iron Turkish crolle is gorgeous and stands out from a distance. If you are lucky, you might pick up a GH with 4 iron crolle. Most GHs have fluid steel ribs, but some have nice damascus ribs.
American black walnut was used on lower grade 0-2 grade guns. Higher grade guns got English thin shell imported walnut. That means the best black walnut were put on a few GHs. Some got highly figured crotch wood that is gorgeous. There is a lot of variation in GHs, but Finding a small bore GH with good Damascus barrels and ribs and well figured American black walnut is what I look for. |

20ga GH damascus (446 made) and PH 20ga twist (210 made) two uncommon but obtainable Parkers. Good value for your dollar if you can locate a nice example of either.
