To answer your initial question about the Vickers barrels,they are heavy and poorly struck. I have a 16ga.with a 2nd set of Vickers 20ga.barrels.They change the handling qualities of the gun in a dramatic way.With the original 16ga.barrels the gun balances dead on the hinge pin.With the Vickers barrels it is front heavy to the point of being difficult to mount smoothly.

When I click on the link, it says it is no longer available, or something to that effect.

Is Ed Good the Insane still out there? I haven't followed Double Gun Shop for years due to the horde of lunatics who seem to inhabit the page.

Vickers barrels on any Parker will reduce the value by a minimum of 60%. A lot of them show up on formerly damascus guns because people were afraid to shoot damascus. I recently appraised a 12 gauge VH with Vickers barrels for $500. It had other issues as well but the barrels killed it as a restoration project. Buy original.
