Oh well.....Can't fault a guy for tryin......:whistle:


Thanks Robin! Good job!

Austin, that one's checkering pattern appears to be pre- the standard we normally see. Does that forend predate the reinforcing rod?

Dave, John has pretty high standards against loaning out borrowed guns....

Ya you're right .....Foolish me...I wonder who he borrowed that one from.

The previous owner..???

Kidding aside John, that is one sweet VHE Skeet Gun with all the attributes I would look for.

At the time I acquired it I thought it was custom. It does have the proper iron and reinforcing screw, and the inside has the same machine inletting as other Parker fore ends. I have seen it pictured in either a catalog or TPS. I have seen perhaps a half dozen more like it. There also some very short btfe 's of that pattern that have been pictured here.

Best, Austin

Wow I just got back online. Thank you Austin & guys for the Quick response and the great pics.

I knew I had seen it; it is in the 1923 pocket catalog and perhaps some others.
