VH 10 gauge

[Mills Morrison]

Here is the most recent new member of the gun room. 230xxx sn range. Not in book or surviving records but appears all original with few minor glitches.

[Jay Oliver]

Very nice Mills! What frame size and barrel length? That looks like a great gun for the duck blind, along with some other places. I like it!

[Mills Morrison]

Frame size 3. Barrel length 30"

[CraigThompson]

:envy::envy: I like it no doubt ����

[Jay Oliver]

I don't have any fluid steel 10s(yet...) That is a nice one for sure.

[Mills Morrison]

This is my first fluid steel 10.

[Jerry Harlow]

Mills,

That is nice. If I had that it would satisfy all my needs for a big Parker gun for turkeys. I'm guessing 3.5" chambers? What is the maximum you plan to shoot in it? What is the weight? It will take a bipod to hold it up if a turkey is on the way slowly.

[Mills Morrison]

I need to check the chambers and weigh it. It is heavy, but not as heavy as some other 10 gauges I have and certainly not like the 8 gauge.

[Craig Larter]

Great purchase Mills!! I hope to see a PP article featuring your new addition in the future. A real low country cannon. Congratulations

[Mills Morrison]

Thanks for the compliments!

Craig, I hope to get it in a PP article, but it might have to wait until duck season. With luck, though, I will get a turkey with it this weekend

Great gun!! From 1889 through at least 1929, when it was over stamped Discontinued, the PH-/PHE- was the lowest grade offered in 10-gauge. By the 1930 catalog the VH-/VHE- carried the line "10 gauge may be obtained in this grade, at $10.00 additional." With a serial number in the 230xxx range this must be one of the first, of the very few, VH-Grade 10-gauges made. By the serial number chronology in the back of The Parker Story, 1929. The 3 1/2 inch Magnum-10 wasn't introduced until 1932.

..i hope the chambers are 3 1/2 ..

I'd hope they are not.

So, is the guy in the last photo the dealer...and did he sell it to you from the back of his truck?! :biglaugh:

That young man will have a pretty darned nice gun room someday...

[Harry Collins]

To ride a horse, shoot a gun, and have good table manners goes a long way in the South. Mills and Harry have class.

[Mills Morrison]

Table manners need work but thank you.

Was sick today so didn't make it out hunting but did hit some clays and it did well

[Mills Morrison]

Looked through the serialization book and mine is by far the earliest VH 10 by serial number. Unless there is one before 228000 which is about where I started looking. I did not find too many in the serialization book. Parker story says there are 20 known and I bet this one was unknown until I found it so that makes 21.

Investigation continues. . .

[Jim McKee]

Very nice, hopefully the young shooter will get to use it.
