New member- looking for ID/Info on 1910? Parker

Thanks for that find. It looks like it - oddly less engraving, but nicer color to the finish - and a box. No box here. The S/N of that one is dang close too - 2751 - mine is 2777. According to what I can find Beesley made 1800 guns before going in with Purdy - but that might not be accurate.

Your VH Parker looks to e a solid gun. Clean it up and start shooting it. Modern shells 7/8 to 1 1/8 oz at 1200 FPS on clays will do the trick. As with all older guns you don't want to shoot snotty field loads or snotty target loads. That won't break any more birds than 1 oz at 1160 will. What those heavy loads do is damage the old wood on the head of the stock. Repairs on a stock cost enough, a replacement will cost more than what the value of the gun is.

Personally, I love shooting the VH/VHE grade Parkers. Solid guns with just the right amount of engraving to satisfy. Enjoy!!
