Default VH 10 gauge survey - need assistance

I am looking to do a survey of VH 10 gauges and compile a list of them for a Parker Pages article. I have one that is not in the book or surviving records. I find 8 in the book. The Parker Story shows there were 20 made.

Who else has one and is there a list of the 20 found by the Parker Story authors?

Feel free to PM me.

Privacy will be respected, of course. I am not giving names out to God even. What I hope to do is get a list of serial numbers, barrel lengths and any special features/ information.

Here is a pic of mine since I know everyone likes photos

Keep in mind that The lists in TPS are statistically extrapolated to compensate for missing records. So, the figure of 20 may not be accurate. So don't hold out if you only account for 15 or something like that.

There are many numbers missing from the books in the steel barrel ten gauge era. Mills, I sent a correction to my original PM.

How are things going with the VH 10 survey, Mills?

I did not find out much more but watch Parker Pages for a complete report on findings.

Mills, I found another one. It is #229,768. It was on a list of leftover guns at the Remington factory along with #235,614 that is already on the list in Parker Pages. Reply to this post so I don't have to PM you with this number. They were both listed as VH guns. You have listed 235,614 as a VHE. The factory list could be wrong.
