Parker VHE Question

[Dean Romig]

Thanks Patrick. In that case, I'm sure that 've seen them and had probably forgotten.

Actually, I have one apart in the other room and just went to check it for those filed slots.
Mine is an 1893 GHE and has two milled depressions about 3/16" wide - not as wide as the tang
and they are rounded depressions made similarly to lightening cuts in a water table.

Marty: Next time you have your hollow ground tips, camera and the inclination, could you take a pic of the rear trigger plate screw with the "+" sign. I have yet to see one and it is nice to have the confirmation of the reason for that mark.

Dean & Patrick: I too was surprised at the V notches completely cut across. I have not seen that. I have two apart at the moment (108603 and 145522). The safety spring sits in a much smaller milled depression centered in the tang, as Dean describes. I have had a few apart and that has been consistent. I can see how the V notch would perform the same function but have yet to see one like that. So... when I do see one like that, it won't be a surprise.

Cheers,
Jack

I'm sure that most if not all "no safety" guns are built on "safety" frames that are pre cut for safety button and safety springs. The lack of a safety cut in the wood would be a no brainer for originality in case a letter does not confirm the "no safety" option.
