Newbie quick question

[gary behrman]

Hello to all. New to this forum since I mostly am interested in rifles but recently acquired a Parker 16 ga which I think is VH Grade. It has a Vent Rib. My question is did Parker put vent ribs on their guns. I looked up the serial # which says made in 1924. Sadly has a recoil pad. Even if these two things are incorrect it looks like a great shotgun. Thanks for your help with this.

Hi Gary - Welcome to the PGCA website forum.

Tell us the serial number and post some pictures please.

Parker Bros. did make a good number of shotguns with the vent rib and also installed recoil pads upon a customer's request. The records may show that your gun was made with both.
