VH 20 Revival

[Mills]

This VH 20 was in sad shape when I acquired it several years ago. The stock was shot and the metal was rusted and scratched. It is now fully restored and looks brand new. Brian Dudley did most of the work and coordinated the rest. Geoffrey Gournet recut the engraving and Doug Turnbull did the case coloring.
New case from Jeff's Outfitters.

What you don't see is the barrels are 28" and IC/M. It is among the lighter of my Parker 20's and handles like a dream. We broke it in on clays this weekend and will get it on real birds soon enough.

Nice gun Mills. I saw it at the Vintagers and was quite impressed. Really nice looking wood.

Nice work as always, i hope you and your sons have many years of great memories from it.

Thanks for posting about the gun Mills. It did turn out nice and is quite a before and after for sure.
This is the gun that I featured in this post about the details of stocking a Parker.

Here are a few additional finished photos of the gun. Turnbull's shop always does a great job on coloring Parkers for me, but this one was right up there as one of the best ones I have gotten out of them.

Thanks for the comments and thanks for the additional photos Brian. The wood is such that it both looks great and still looks appropriate for the grade.

Beautiful. I would cry if it were mine and I put a scratch on it.

No kidding. I am sure a scratch is coming
