Description:
UP FOR YOU CONSIDERATION IS A VERY SPECIAL PARKER VHE DEDICATED LIVE BIRD OR TRAP GUN. THIS GUN HAS NUMEROUS SPECIAL ORDER FEATURES. THE GUN WAS ORDERED WITH PRINCE OF WALES PISTOL GRIP AND BEAVERTAIL FOREARM. THE WOOD RETAINS OVER 95% FINISH. THE GUN FEATURES SPECIAL CHECKERING THAT IS OF AT LEAST D GRADE QUALITY AND IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. THE DIMENSIONS ARE A BIT HIGHER THAN FIELD SO APPROX 1.25 TO 1.35 DROP AT COMB, APPROX 14.5 LOP. THIS IS INDICATIVE OF A DEDICATED LIVE BIRD OR TRAP GUN. THE RECEIVER IS A NUMBER 2 AS WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.THE RECEIVER RETAINS NO DECERNABLE CASE COLOR EXCEPT ON THE INTERIOR FLATS.THE GUN WAS ORDERED FROM THE FACTORY WITHOUT A SAFETY AGAIN AS APPROPRIATE FOR A LIVE BIRD OR TRAP GUN. NOTE FACTORY ENGRAVING OVER WHERE THE SAFETY WOULD HAVE BEEN. THE BARRELS ARE 32 INCH TUBES AND ARE BORED APPROX. MOD AND IMP. MOD. THEY ARE BRIGHT AND SHINY WITH NO ISSUES AND RING TRUE. THEY RETAIN A CONSERVATIVE 98% FINISH WHICH I BELIEVE IS ORIGINAL. THE FOREARM HAS HAD THE RETAINING IRON JEWELED WHICH IS NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE ORIGINAL, BUT THE LUG ON THE BARREL IS THE PROPER LUG FOR A BEAVERTAIL FOREND. APPOX. 170 V GRADE GUNS WERE SHIPPED WITH BEAVERTAIL FORENDS. THE RECOIL PAD IS OF A LATTER PERIOD THAN THE GUN BUT IS OLD AND IN GOOD CONDITION. THE GUN LOCKS UP TIGHT AND IS ON FACE AND THE EJECTORS ARE WORKING AND TIMED.SERIAL NUMBER INDICATES THE GUN WAS MADE IN 1923 -1924. UNFORTUNATLY THE RECORDS FOR THIS RANGE ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I AM A MEMEBER OF THE P.G.C.A. AND HAVE CHECKED. WHILE I AM CERTAIN THE BEAVERTAIL FOREARM IS ORIGINAL TO THE GUN IT IS MY BELIEFE FROM 30 YRS OF COLLECTING. THIS IS A DEFINIT SPECIAL ORDER GUN AND THE CHECKERING IS DEFINITLY PARKER QUALITY AND STYLE JUST FOR A HIGHER GRADE GUN. EVEN THIS MAKES SENSE AS WE KNOW THE GUN WAS MANUFACTURED WITH THE PROPER FOREND ATTACHING IRON ON THE BARREL AND NO SELF RESPECTING LIVE BIRD SHOOTER WOULD WANT THE STANDARD FLAT CHECKERING ON A V GRADE GUN. IT IS A SHAME THE ORDER INFO IS NOT AVAILABLE AS I AM CERTAIN IT WOULD CONFIRM WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN. THE STOCK HAS BEEN CONFIRMED AS ORIGINAL ON THE PGCASITE BY AN ADVANCED COLLECTOR AND IT TO HAS HIGHER GRADE CHECKERING THAN WOULD BE ON A STANDARD V GRADE GUN MATCHED WITH A SPECIAL ORDER PRINCE OF WALES STOCK.LOOK AT THE PICTURES ASK QUESTIONS AND MAKE YOUR OWN EVALUATION. THIS GUN IS C&R LEGAL AND MUST SHIP TO A FFL DEALER. MONEY ORDERS AND BANK CHECKS SHIP IN 3 DAYS OR SOONER. PERSONAL CHECKS 10 WORKING DAYS.
