Default 32" 28 bore VH & DH

TPS says that 15 were made in VH configuration and that 14 DHs were made. Does anyone have any personal knowledge of a 32" VH or DH? Were they 0 framed or 00 framed? Earlier production or later? Pistol grip or straight? Any input would be appreciated!

I was recently accused of "shopping in thin air". Not that you're shopping Reggie. If you are I like your taste.

Strangely I like the long barrels 30-34 inches but my real forte are bird barrels IE 26”ish . So it goes without saying I likes dem all

Back in April 1911, Edwin L. Hedderly, Editor of Western Field, ordered a 32-inch DHE-Grade --

If memory serves me, this gun made an appearance at a long ago, early PGCA get together at The Great Southern Weapons Fair at Richmond, Virginia. He ordered a similar 20-gauge in February 1911.

So questions about rare Parkers shouldn’t be asked? I am fortunate to own a couple of 30” 28 gauge guns, was looking at the data on them and thought surely some of the highly esteemed members here might have at some time ran across one of the 32” guns. Josh listed a 32” B grade I do believe on this site. Steve Barnett has a 32” A1S, so surely my question isn’t that shocking!

Questions about rare Parkers should always be asked.
