Here is a Parker 16 O frame I own. Bought it on an internet auction. It was completely restored/restocked a few years ago. the barrels are 28" with very nice 4 stripe Damascus. The factory letter weight was 5-14, and with the new stock it is 6-1. I have yet to shoot it, but with the well struck barrels that yield this weight, the handling seems really nice.

That would be your DH, based on my viewing your list of 16s.

Was it disclosed who did the restoration?

Yes.I recieved the compete billing documents for the restoration. One of the reasons I purchased it.

It was done by several people and I would rather not quote the workers without digging through my papers on the gun.

That is good that you have documents on the restoration. It rounds out the story and adds to the enjoyment. as I see it.

The trail had been lost on the restoration process of my restored VH. I have called a few of the better-known shops capable of the work and was told that there is no record of their having had my gun.

I considered the look faithful enough to suit my tastes when the gun was offered to me, and am still happy with the job, whoever did it.
