The bolt plate is pinned but I can’t see if it’s the 1910 patented stepped type of plate.

I'll prevail once again to Frank to post a pic.
Guess I need a new computer.

I think the issue Bill is the site recognizes Model 21 collectors are not so refined of gentleman shooters as Parker shooters is and trying to keep you at bay...:rotf:

Here you go buddy...

Thanks Frank for the clear picture of the 1910 stepped replaceable bolt plate.

A Grade 5 gun was nice enough gun to have a lot of factory work done to modernize it for an owner's use. One of the most notable was 84040 one of the first, if not the first hammerless Grade 5 20-gauges. Originally a Quality BH with Damascus barrels that spent time at expositions in the 1890s and finally sold in 1898. In 1937 it went to Remington and got new steel barrels, automatic ejectors and a single selective trigger.

Yes, I have to admit to being a Model 21 collector. But, I have seen the light and now have a very nice Parker. And the Parker community comprising this web site have been extremely accommodating. Very rewarding.

Very nice BHE especially being a 20 gauge. Great that it was sent back to the factory and got modernized. Mine too was sent back to the factory for re-barreling---wish they had added a single trigger, beavertail forend and a vent rib.

We have established that my BHE was re-barreled by the factory about 1919 or afterwards. Is it reasonable to assume that it was re-barreled before the Remington purchase in 1934?

On the subject of interesting B Grades, had this 34” sweetheart walk in to the office this week….

HOLY (Expletive Deleted)!! What a beauty!!
