The PH/E .410 chase is a rare one indeed. Of the 3 definitely known to exist (e.g., able to be held in hand and examined), one is indeed a righteous gun that came out of New England via Virginia and now resides in the Midwest. The second gun is freely admitted to be an upgrade (not a 'fake') - whereabouts unknown - and the third gun is (presumably) the one that "won't letter". Ed's reference to a 4th gun came out of a rumored "deal in the works" involving a longtime Parker collector who tried to "coax" it out of the proverbial second floor hall closet in a row house up in the PA coal country. Nothing ever came of the deal; the collector still maintains its "real" but can provide no details and reprortedly was never able to make any progress on getting the owner(s) to set a price.
