They are pricey. That has stopped me so far.

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.

16 hammergun
I bought a 16 gauge 26 inch hammer gun that had been sleeved to steel really cheap. The stock was a poor replacement. Since the barrels were sleeved, I decided to restock and dress the gun up as a modern shooter. I have spent many hours replacing the stock with a nice piece of walnut that is almost finished. The stock is bedded and a skeletal butt plate has been added. The drops fit me well and the gun should shoot any load. The chokes are modified and improve modified. I plan on using it for quail, dove and pheasant. It balances on the hinge pin and feels nice to swing. While it is not original, It will be a nice, light, steel barreled hammer gun.

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...

 I was fortunate two years ago and got a grade 3 with 30 inch barrels at the Southern. I also have a lifter and a 32 incher along with an English gun with a Jones underlever......yup I love 16 bore hammer guns

Unfinished 16 hammergun
Here is a picture of the sleeved 16 gauge hammer gun. The fore end needs cleaned and finished. The trigger guard needs a little work for final fitting. The skeletal butt plate screws are fit but the slots need final work. The stock will have more coats of finish.
