You know I never really noticed it until I was sitting here last night playing with the 12 top lever I just acquired , but a 12 hammer gun actually looks elegant after horseing around 10 gauge for so long LOL's

That is true. Along with the early 1 frame 12 gauge hammerless Parkers

16 gauge hammer guns are the things dreams are made of.

How does the song go? Get out of my dreams and into my life? Or something like that. Maybe I will finally land one in 2019

16 hammer gun ? They seem a bit to pricey although a grade 2 top lever might test me . Preferably on a 1 frame with 26” or 28” barrels .

They are pricey. That has stopped me so far.

First Parker we ever had was a 12 VHE on a 1 frame which we still have . But the 16 VH on the 1 frame I got a couple months ago seems a bit more dainty shall we say .

I don’t own a Parker hammergun gun in 16 (I have an underlifter 12) but I do have a Belgian gun. It was fairly inexpensive but sweeeet to shoot. I find myself usually turning to it with RST shells for upland birds.

What amount is too much to pay for a svelte sixteen bore Parker Bros hammer gun? They carry beautifully - shoot beautifully - instill a 'pride of ownership'- take up less space in the safe, thereby allowing more room for more Parker sixteens... Those things alone must be worth a certain premium...
