Great photos!!! Never owned a 16 ga. It was my first choice when I was about 12, but it never happened..

There are two:
One was my fathers VHE 16ga. And by the way a 3inch 16ga. Have some old Peters 3in to go along with it; used to have the Parker hang tag to also verify, but it finally disintegrated. Miller SST trigger, which beats most rifle triggers.
The other is a Parker Reproduction two barrel set. 20g and a 16Ga on the 20Ga frame.

Checked with the Parker Collectors Association and they said while not common it doesn't add all much value on a VHE. Regular 2 3/4in 16Ga and the 3in.

Within 10miles.
Coming down fairly good when I came back from running the Dogs, but has let up now. We may get a couple inches here and dodge what is going on further East.

Here's a F.lli Piotti BSEE Lusso, 16 of course. When the prices rose beyond what I could stand, I sold it. I often wish I had it back...

Chuckar with my 16/16/6.5X57R Sauer LUX Quail hunting with my grandson. He used a vintage Savage 220 20ga, and I carried the same in 16ga. Blue grouse with a Sauer 16/16/7X65R drilling Owen was using the 16ga Savage 220 that day.

The three in the photos weigh just under 7 pounds each. Depending on the models and wood density, they vary a bit. The 16 & 8X57JRS is the lightest at 6 3/4 pounds. I am drooling over all the other fine guns in this thread.
