Just as an aside and in regards to clubability, I found this in Charles Askin's "Modern Shotguns and Loads"; "Parkers are made in all gages, from the 410 up. They make guns as light as shotguns should be made, but have never favored feather-weight arms in any bore. While the Parker might not out-shoot other double guns it will shoot as well as any, and every Parker gun will shoot about the same as any other. Poor shooting Parkers are a very rare thing, if there are any." Seems reasonable, though the intrinsic handling of an English/Scottish made gun is without question.
