Personally I can see the appeal.
On a hammergun you would get the carved bolsters (D grade and higher). On a hammerless B grade or higher you would get the lines/ rings that outline the bolsters. IMO would make for a very clean action but with all the lines of a high grade gun. Not saying I would order one that way but I can see the appeal. Just goes to show Parker would do just about what ever the customer wanted. Now the question would be did Parker give a discount on the original price of these guns do to the lack of engraving? (less man hours/ etc) Does anyone know this? |

Interesting. We have a member that has a VH that was ordered with C Grade wood. A wonderful gun. Never say never......

That would seem to make more sense to me if you wanted a “clean” look, order a VH with a upgraded stock and even upgraded barrels if you wanted..

The idea was that the barrel steel quality was better as the grade went up. You got a “better gun” because the barrels were “better”. Parker woild give a doscount for no engraving. Maybe $25.00 from some examples i have seen. Which was the cost of a Trojan when it was introduced. So it was a significant amount of money at the time. So, the customer got a “better” gun and saved some money to help out with soending the extra money on the barrels. Other than that, who knows the reason.

Or he may have intended to have it engraved himself. Engraving is a very personal choice, some prefer specific types.

The "adjustment" for no engraving on the CH was $37.50, or 25% of the list price. The "adjustment" for no engraving on the AAH was a very minimal $125.00. I am as confused as the rest of you.

I doubt that was the case. As the guns would have left the factory case hardened, leaving engraving after the fact very difficult.
