Haven't tried Fox but did make an effort on Parkers. Bought a couple molested ones but not what I wanted. Finally found a Parker collector who took pity on me and sent me to a collector who was disposing of part of his assets. Found the 20ga VHE I wanted at a reasonable price. However both Parker and Fox are just too well known names and their collector value is far above their mechanical value in the lower grades. There are a lot of better quality guns for the price of a Parker VHE or DHE. Besides I am a shooter not a collector. My 20ga has seen a lot of miles in the desert hunting quail;a trip to South Dakota for pheasant, Idaho for Huns and a few sporting clays venues too. Of course dove frequently as well. So I suggest you figure out how to meet collectors of such guns and develop a relationship or two. Those selling their Parkers are more like the adoption agency for kids in my experience.
