New 16 VH

That's a mind set that'll have you owning more gun safes than dogs! But.....I think a man should have several of both.

This gun is exactly the type I like. Parker quality along with condition allowing usability. Shoot and enjoy, that’s why they made them. Nice one

Thank you Rick. That was my goal exactly. I think of myself as more of a "preserver" of Parker field guns I guess rather than a collector. I'll use them but care for them well.

Ah yes I’ve had a Parker GH 16 damascus for about thirty years . Guns had an inch trimmed on the barrels . It SST in the safe for years unfired until I started loading for damascus guns . Anyway I wanted a Parker 16 for quite a bit now I’ve got four VH grades two GH grades and a Grade 1 top lever hammer in 16 . And I still would like a DHE and perhaps a hammerless 32” . It’s a vicious never ending cycle

Andy, you have found a nice pair of Parkers. Enjoy. Parkers weren't cheap and they were often used a lot but cleaned and were cared for by people who appreciated them. That is just my opinion why you find them like yours that show much use but may very well be original, you will see many that are not nearly as nice as those two.

Darn nice Parker! Enjoy
