Took a quick photo while hunting of my old VH Parker 12, with a #2 frame. It was restocked and recased years ago by JJ Jenkins in CA. Perfect dimensions for my 6'2" frame.

Very nice -
Here is my circa 1900 VH Parker 20 on a 28 frame - fastest handling shotgun I have ever used:

It is mechanically sound (thanks to Dale Tate ) but I left all the dents from rocks and barbed wire in it since my brothers and I put most of them there back in the 50s.

My current Parkers are 20 and 12 Repros that are prettier but less nostalgic.
