The 1926 Parker AAHE 12 Gauge:
Feathered Lightning...
In the golden age of American shotgun craft, few names resonate with the same reverence as Parker Bros. And among their finest works, the AAHE grade stands apart as a triumph of form, function, and artistry. Built in 1926, this AAHE 12 gauge is a study in restraint and excellence—a high-grade American double that balances mechanical sophistication with visual poetry.
The AAHE was never a mass-produced model. Each was hand-built to order, a bespoke firearm tailored to the tastes and measurements of an individual sportsman. It was a gun not only meant to perform at the highest level—but to endure as an heirloom.
By the mid-1920s, Parker had already earned its reputation as America’s premier maker of sporting doubles—guns that rivaled the best from London and graced the hands of competitors, tycoons, and presidents alike.
