Bill, Is 229768 a 30 inch or 32 or some other length or do you know? Thanks

Looking forward to your article. I had not realized just how few 10 gauge Steel barrel hammerless Parker’s were made in all grades.
It will be interesting to see how many VH and VHE steel barrel guns are documented verses how many are in the records.
My GHE 10 with 36” barrels for example is not listed and actually no 36” Steel barrel GH guns are listed.

Wow! That GHE 10 gauge is a real treasure

Phil,
Where in the heck do you find all these cool guns in Arizona? I am in quartzsite Arizona now for the month of January and would like to know your secret.

Mills, I am sure 229,768 is a 32" gun.

No real secret I am good friends and hunt with the owner of the best used gun shop in Arizona.
That and friends that call me when they see something they think I would like.
Less competition for SXS out west yet lots of guns have come out here with the influx of retirees.
Still I have never found a steel barrel 10 gauge VH.

Over the weekend, a member called about another one not on the list. From the 236000 sn range and is a magnum with ejectors and 32 inch barrels.

Total count now stands at 12 VH(E) 10's
