Steve,
You stated in your post that your first Parker was "only a VH". Please understand that the major difference in your gun and an AH is purely cosmetic and given proper care, that beautiful little gun will still be doing its job long after you and I are gone. |

Thats one good looker for being over 100....I also have a 1901 16ga. its a GH on a 1 frame 28" demascus barrels. Its weight is 6lbs-12oz I had the barrels freshed up and the rest of the gun is original. Its been used to slay roosters and does a fine job! What does your 0 frame weigh? Thanks SXS ohio....

I bet your gun is really nice! I weighed it on my digital scale and it weighed 6Lb 5 oz.

A great weight for grouse... where does it balance?

NHHunter,
That's a fine old Parker, classic in every regard and one I would think any member of this board would be proud to own. I have always thought a 16 ga V epitomized what Parker did. Fundamentally, they are the same as the highest grade guns but made to be hunted; above average wood and just enough engraving on the receiver to show they were carefully engraved by hand; and there is nothing wearing feathers that can't be taken humanly with an appropriate 16 ga load. A very elegant gun in it's own right. Congratulations. |

Sweet looking gun. My second Parker is in transit right now, also a 16 guage.
