Parker Brothers 16 Gauge VH Grade Original

Description

16 Gauge VH Grade

Parker Brothers started the business after the Civil War, and instead of making each part by hand, as gunmakers in London did, Parker’s gunsmiths meticulously hand-assembled their guns from machine-made parts. Parker Brothers made nearly 240,000 guns in many grades–the VH Grade the lowest and most common–gauges, and configurations, from lightweight bird guns to heavyweights for waterfowling, but all made to the same standard of excellence.
