Well made it home and letter had arrived, thought I'll share and ask for input about thoughts on this Parker VH. Did not understand the code marks being new, Also took pic's that shed some light on the Remington history with letter. Thanks Craig

I'd say you did very well. I have one very similar but with 26" bbls and straight grip. Yours has excellent colors, great screws and doesn't look abused from what I can see.

It looks like your gun must have been given a new receiver at some time after the takeover by Remington, probably after the gun was returned for credit. 1931 was way too early for the Parker marking on the bottom. What a beautiful gun.

When did those markings start Bill? My 239xxx S/N gun from 1936 is marked that way also, which makes sense since it's post '34.

Richard, I guess the approximate dates for the Parker marking of receivers is explained in The Parker Story, but I would assume it started with the first receivers finished under Remington ownership of Parker Brothers.
