[QUOTE=Christopher Lien;189954]---------------------------------------------------------------

Brett,
Don't believe everything you read and hear. There were a few rib anomalies with Remington era Parker's, some of which occured during the transitional period from Meriden to Ilion late 1937 into 1938...

The 32" VHE Vent/Rib Trap in the image below is one example. A full-house gun in the high 240 serial range, this Rem/Trap has "PARKER" marked on the frame bottom, but rather than an unmarked top rib, it carries the earlier "PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDEN. C.T. U.S.A. VULCAN STEEL" inscription.

If I remember correctly there were not many of the 32" lower grade traps. I believe the chart indicated there were only about 18 VHE models produced, and many more DHE's, but that total number may have changed since being published years ago... Someone here may know?...

Best, Chris ~ CSL
