Saw a VHE sn'd in the 237XXX range one time that had "Parker" engraved before the break between the receiver and forend iron on the bottom of the receiver, no rib inscription at all, and "Parker Bros." engraved on only one side (forget if it was left or right) of the receiver. Go figure!

56213 letters as a heavy 32-inch barrel 12-gauge. It did get a second set of Vulcan Steel barrels, probably in the late teens or early 1920s, 32-inch 20-gauge but Mark and Chuck have never found any record of them. :crying:

Thanks for the response Dave. So the puzzle remains unsolved.

Yeah!! And, I'm still wondering what that 153 means on the left barrel flat of the 20-gauge barrels?
