There was some 1 frame 12g. Trojans built on special order. With Twist barrels too. But these an oddity.

Thanks to everyone for the additional information on the butt plate. I have no plans to change the DHB. Thats the way the shotgun came when I purcahsed it and I like it. It also shoots very well for quail hunting. I guess thats what is important. Tom

Right - That's the order that was shipped to the Fae East I believe.

True,

But know that if you wanted the proper buttplate put onto it, it would not be anything super involved. And an investment of around $100.

OK, now I'm lost. Dean, what's the backstory? :corn:

There was an order placed for a number of V grade Parkers which I believe were sent to Japan and they were shipped with Twist Steel barrels. Whether they were ordered with these particular barrels is unclear to me. The answer to that question may be found in the records we have... Chuck might know or maybe someone else who has made it his business to learn this information. I honestly don't remember reading about these particular VH guns in The Parker Story. If someone else knows, they may chime in here.
