brian you have some very good ideas...i think what you said would fix that hole up real nice... charlie

Steve should just be glad that the hole is not through the makers mark. That is a very common issue with holes from iron sights or scopes. Much harder to repair too.

Another way to fix if be wanted it 100% correct would be to find a VH rib and swap it in.

I stumbled accross this gun on GB a min ago. So I can only assume that you are just looking at it Steve. Since the seller is in NY and you are in NH.

I see that additional photos in the auction show that they are Trojan Barrels and the dolls head has a screw on the back face of it, kind of like as on an ejector gun. But the screw is larger. I can only assume this is what is holding the dolls head on. ???

Other notes on the gun as I see is that the forend checkering is not correct at all for a VH or any other Parker, I might add. Also, this gun has cyanide case colors. So those have been redone at some time. A wile ago I would guess considering the amount of wear to the colors.
