Beautiful Trap Gun! Does anyone know how many were produced in this configuration?

If the forearm is original, less than 163. That is the total number of VH with BT forearms.

Then add barrel length, and vent rib. I think you're below 20.

Oh, and 11/2 frame and single trigger.

I have done some research on this configuration, and this is an extremely rare combo of features.
Probably less than 20.
BTW, I have serial number 240941. Same configuration.
I also owned the same exact configuration in a Runge/DelGreco A1 Special, which I foolishly sold.
This is a small world at times.

I thought I saw 18 somewhere... Very nice gun! I would be interested in knowing to who the gun was originally issued.

Mine is configured exactly the same with serial: 239089

I had a pretty good idea that this is a rare configuration, 1 of 18 or 20 I didn't expect!

To be honest I saw this gun online about 2 months ago and I was dragging my feet to go look at it. Finally my curiosity got the better of me and the owner said I could shoot it. As I mentioned in my 'Going to test drive ...' I shot a 22 with the right barrel,a 22 with the left. The fact I haven't shot a clay target since last summer at the bunker, not a 16yd target in years and this Parker crushed everything I broke sealed the deal.
I have filled out the PGCA request, cut the check and am at the mercy of the usps to find out who/what& when for this gun.
I'd be interested in any info that could be pertinent concerning it being a rare bird like I thought.
Thanks!

Very nice Todd, it appears your color case is in better shape than mine.

That's a fine cue stick you've got there Todd. And it's a takedown model too!

That's a Damascus barreled M 97. Not a take-down model unfortunately.

I've got a 20 dollar bill that says it will at least double at the close :rotf:

That’s a real beauty! I told you in your original thread to quit worrying about the money and buy it. Pay the man. I was correct.

William Machauer

Yes John, there was never any doubt I was going to buy it- my gun fund was a little in the red so we had to haggle for a trade.
Its mine now, I gotta wait until the end of May to try it on helice. I'll get out to the bunker before then I hope!
Nothing wrong with 16yd targets but I much prefer bunker targets!

I bet if it doesn’t do six or seven times that it won’t meet reserve that I “assume” it has .

Craig, it's at $850.00 now and has no reserve.

Actually it is at $2600 (not on Proxibid yet)

I’ve been watching on invaluable it’s still under $500 there .
