Parker 28 gauge photos - original (I believe)
A while ago, I was asked by friends to post photos of my 28 gauge on this site. I'm not very good with technology, so it may take me a few tries. I recently submitted a request for a PGCA research letter and expect to be told that it's a vulcan steel hammerless VH manufactured in 1917. Its been in my family since it was purchased new and has been my occasional shooter for 50 years. I don't really know how to evaluate condition or value, but for starters, 28" barrels shine from end to end, the gun locks up tight and it's especially fun to hunt with. On the other hand, I've never been able to locate any bluing and the stock had a small split that was expertly repaired about ten years ago. The finish is worn, though I believe it's original. Perhaps another member could help me figure out how to more accurately evaluate and describe this gun. Thanks for your thoughts and information.

Well, if you were thinking of freshening it up you would lose all evidence of it having been lovingly used by family members for these 99 years.
