It is a highly personal thing. Some guys prefer the Remington Parkers made in Ilion from about 1935-1941, while others prefer the earlier Meriden made Parker Brothers guns. I see no real difference in price between the two groups--condition, grade, and bore being the three most significant value determinants. A lot of guys even prefer the Parker Reproductions, which are now selling for almost as much or more than the original Ilion and Meriden made guns in Grade 3 (D). The earlier Meriden Parkers, before 1900, did not have ejectors, so a gun from the decade of the 1890s would not be a DHE or GHE model, only a DH or GH. While the Bluebook used to put quite a premium on ejector guns (I have not used the Bluebook in 15 years) I and others feel that ejectors are not that much of a value addition. I have two ejector guns currently, a VHE and a PHE, but I bought the guns for around the same price as a non-ejector gun. Enjoy the hunt, and remember, buy the gun not the name.
