Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Yes, I noticed that as well, but the seller did confirm that it was off of a VHE he had several years ago. Also if you look close at the engraving on the latch release latch you'll notice that the engraving isn't what is commonly found on Parker Brothers guns, with exception of the A and B grade models and above. Most Parker guns have more delicate surface line scrolling rather than what is referred to a Relief Engraving, which is much more in depth with material removal included that gives a better three dimensional image. The engraving here although very worn looks to be of that relief style. Secondly, I have compared it to other Parker's and although it is similar in style to the A and B grade Parkers it doesn't match them either. Thirdly, you can see material degradation around the tips and ends of that latch. Those Parker latches are relatively thick metal and this is the first one I've seen that is deuterated like this even on old guns that have rusted away. It is possible that an aftermarket engraver ground away the old VH x border and lines to give him a clean area to engrave.
