The wrist checkering, although slightly similar in appearance, is nothing like factory checkering.
The angle of the diamonds is way off, and the location of the rear spur extension is incorrect.

The pad is a Jostam Anti-Flinch, available about 1914 and into the 40s.

I finally took the VH out for sporting clays. Whatever the gun lost in collectible value due to Mr. Hasinger’s modifications, he made up for in shoot-ability. The gun functions perfectly after 108 years and crushes clays just fine. It’s a big, heavy soft shooting gun, perfect for clays and skeet. I may even take it hunting along side my 12 ga lifter. I decided to leave the Jostam pad. It’s hard as a rock but sliding my Galco leather pad over it gives me a perfect LOP and makes the gun very comfortable to shoot. It looks just fine. I hate the look of the beaver tail but admit, it’s great for shooting. I will likely only have the barrels sanded and reblued for now. I would like to have a proper splinter forend fitted to it. Overall, it was an fantastic find for me and I’m the happy owner of another great old Parker.

I ordered and received the research letter today for my VH, previously owned by a man holding a very unique place among 20th century sportsmen, David Hasinger. Thank you for the very quick turnaround. David was born and raised in the small town of Indiana, PA in 1915. This Parker was manufactured in 1910, and ordered by a gentleman in that same small town in 1911. The original owner died in 1940 and I would guess David purchased his gun. It certainly didn’t travel far between owners. David, however, was a world traveler who had his name engraved on both side of the gun, so who knows where the gun went over the next 40-50 years. How much a Parker shotgun and letter can tell us! I very much look forward to sharing the story in an upcoming Parker Pages.
