Nice looking gun! Looks to be original- What percent of the case still remains?

Good evening John , Yes I believe it is all original also and Thank You for the compliment ! I would say a little better than 50 % but it is hard to say really since we weren't around when they were manufactured ! I bought a 12 Gauge VHE years ago which was questionable if it had ever been shot ,I don't believe it had because I bought the gun fro a Grandson who told me his Grandfather ordered the gun and passed away before it arrived and his Grandmother would never let anyone shoot it ! I always base my percentages off of that particular Parker !

That’s a beauty Russ!!
I think we should get our little 28 gauge Sheet guns together for a photo shoot and a Skeet shoot sometime soon. Lucky you!! .

I bet that 12 day trip had you on pins and needles waiting for it to arrive. That sure is a beauty. I just had a gun sent from Oregon and it came in 3 days, FedX.
Went to the Washington gun show yesterday with Brett Hoops, and the first table had a Parker Repro A1 Special 20 ga with 2 sets of barrels, original case, etc--think the price was just under $14,000. Other than that, there were some tired old 12 ga Sterlys, a couple Grade 2 12's, but there was a really nice Trojan 12 with 26" barrels for just under a grand. I bought a gun slip and some cleaning supplies.
