Parker VHE Boxlock Double Ejectorgun
serial #175725, 16 ga. (2 1/2'') on No. 1 frame, 28'' Vulcan steel barrels choked modified and full with mostly bright good bores, both showing a few raised dents about 5-6'' back from the muzzles. The barrels retain perhaps 80% original blue that is toning to a deep gray-brown patina under bright light along with some scattered mild freckling. The action is mostly a medium gunmetal gray patina with mild brown undertones and some wisps of case-hardened colors in the very protected areas. All markings otherwise remain intact and strong and the checkered capped pistolgrip walnut buttstock and splinter forend remain in very good plus condition retaining generous original finish and showing scattered light dings and handling marks from honest use. Stock fit remains very nice and the original hard rubber pistolgrip cap and shield monogram plate along the toe line are intact. Length-of-pull to the solid black rubber Kick-eez pad is about 13 5/8'' with drops of 1 1/2'' and 2 1/2''. The gun features double triggers, automatic safety and silver bead front sight. Weight is 7 lbs. 11 oz. and the barrels lock-up solid on-face with top lever just right-of-center. The action seems to function well mechanically with robust ejectors that are just slightly out of time. A solid 16 bore VHE. (13B11778-9) {C&R} (1800/2200)
