This Parker VHE 20 Gauge, manufactured in 1917 by Parker Brothers in Meriden, Connecticut, is a testament to timeless craftsmanship. Featuring 30-inch barrels, this side-by-side boxlock shotgun is equipped with ejectors and double triggers, a hallmark of Parker's dedication to reliability and precision.
Chambered in 20 gauge, the shotgun is choked Improved Cylinder and Modified, making it versatile for a range of shooting applications. It retains its original 6 pounds 5 ounces weight, maintaining a perfect balance in hand. The dimensions—DAC of 1.75 inches, DAH of 2.375 inches, and a 14.125-inch LOP—provide a comfortable and stable shooting experience.
In very good overall condition, the Parker VHE showcases light wear typical of its age, with clear bores and crisp triggers. The action remains smooth, locking up tightly, and the barrels are secure on face, indicating minimal use over the years. The ejectors are strong, ensuring reliable ejection of spent shells.
Aesthetically, the shotgun boasts 60%+ of its original case color, which adds to its historical charm. The stock is adorned with a capped pistol grip and the iconic Parker Bros pistol grip cap, while the buttstock features the distinctive dog head Parker buttplate, a signature detail cherished by collectors.
This Parker VHE, with its long barrels and ejectors, represents a rare find in today’s market. As Parker shotguns become increasingly scarce, this piece stands out as both an excellent shooter and a valuable addition to any collection.
