I was recently surfing the web and stumbled across a Parker Brothers DHE 16 gauge, 30" barrels with a ventilated rib. I looked up the gun in the Parker Gun Identification & Serialization Book. It was listed as Special Order Code #19, ejectors, single selective trigger and ventilated rib. I excitedly made the call and lucky for me it was still available. They had listed the gun for $1999.99 and I couldn't believe my eyes. The person in charge of "Gun Library" pricing apparently was inexperienced with Parker valuations. The gun has lots of case color and unbelievable wood. The bores are shiny and using snap caps everything is in working order. The only distraction is the Frey-Mershon recoil pad, though the company was active in 1938, the year the gun was manufactured. Later, Pachmayr purchased the Frey-Mershon Company. Some days you just got to feel lucky.
