Default How big is the Parker name on your bottom?

As we know, our Remington produced Parkers have the Parker name (without Bros) engraved on the bottom of the frame, just north of the trigger plate.
I recall the bottom of my VH 237194 as being very large and I was surprised, when taking pictures of this gun for an upcoming PP article, at how small the font was that the engraver used. This is #242022
What do your Parker bottoms look like? Show us with the serial number noted.

That is cool. Steve Cobb had a VH (I think) where the Parker Bros on the side was much bigger than usual. The great thing about hand done engraving is there is variation from one gun to the next. No two are alike. It is something missing from modern guns.

1933 VH 20 gauge. Before I bought this gun more than 20 years ago it had been restocked in English Walnut with a straight grip, checkered butt and a Miller SST installed.
