Default Early VH 28 gauge Round Knob Pistol Grip

I have a VH 28 gauge manufactured in 1904. The stock is a round knob stock with DHBP with no spur. The Parker letter states it was a pistol grip stock (not capped pistol grip). I had asked about the "no spur" in another post and someone mentioned it may be a re-stock.

So today I was looking back thru old posts in the classifieds and found a 1906 28 gauge stocked exactly like mine. Round knob pistol grip with a no spur DHBP. Does anyone else have an early small bore with a round knob stock and butt plate? Do you think early small bores had round knobs without spurs? At least 2 did! Does anyone have an early 28 gauge with a capped pistol grip?

For what it's worth, I have a twenty-eight gauge VHE ( 211216 ) with a capped pistol grip and a spurred DHBP.

Parker Bros discontinued the spurred butt plate in the 1920's. It's very difficult to know if Parker Bros used a non-spurred butt plate in or around 1906 and I don't think two such guns would determine a 'standard' practice. I think we would need a significantly higher number of guns with like butt plates and stock features.

That was what I was hoping maybe this thread might give us. More examples of small gauge round knob stock guns.

I do believe that a vast majority of .410 guns are round knob. If it adds anythijg to the conversation.

Not many .410 guns in 1906. I doubt many 1906 guns were made without the spur, regardless of the gauge. A picture of your gun may give us a clue to its originality.

My GHE 28, was a PG, not capped PG, and had a spurred butt plate, 236,4xx.
This is just an observation, but not very scientific, or based on very many examples; 00 framed 28s were more likely to be PG, and 0 framed 28s were more commonly Capped PG.

I have a DH 28 gauge on an 0 frame made about 1916 I believe. Letters to having a Huntley pad installed. The pad did not have a spur.
