Destry, how many 3 frame 12 fluid steel Parkers do you think are out there? Relatively speaking not many. Like I said I got lucky (I think). Ivory Beads has two 3 frame VH's for sale. Both of them have warts and they want $2850 and $3800. I have just slight less than the former into mine. If you really want one and you can afford it and pay your other bills in life go for it. Life is short and with each passing year we have fewer duck seasons left my friend.
