Original Case Colors
 

Looking for photos of super high condition original case colors for a 1920’s era VH. Anyone have such an animal?

I can post some. Give me a few minutes.

Charlie Price's Color Case Hardening pictures....X Sorry - Images are too large for this format. They can be viewed in Parker Pages Spring 2015 Issue.

Yes, I had a new in box VHE skeet gun 16 ga that many member have seen, I'll see if I can find the photos of it.

Edgar's been keeping secrets!! He never mentioned that "mint" Parker! :)

Nice, I’d like to see that.

Oops...... :duck:

I believe Edgar did tell us about the gun.

See the PARKER PAGES article entitled A PRISTINE VH, by Edgar Spencer, with photos by Mark Ouellette, Volume 20, Autumn 2013, issue 3.

Is there a digital version?

No Mark, there isn't but I can email you a couple of images.

Thanks Dean!!

I appreciate it!!

I'm looking for the photos, unfortunately I no longer have the gun as I had to trade it away but I did get to see it again a few weeks ago in a collector friend's collection and it fit right in with his many (very) high condition American SxS. I was glad to see it in a fitting home.

I'm not keeping (m)any secrets. I wrote that gun up in PP a few years ago, and it has since been sold to another member. I believe he also sold it. It was unfired.

The curse of the unfired gun. You can’t shoot the damn thing (or can you?), so you have to sell.

But for those few who collect benchmark guns these unfired guns are the 'crem de la crem.'

I have a Remington era 12 gauge VHE 26” barrels trap modified forend. Sent to JG Heath of Remington in 1936. I had this at Vegas meeting last year. Several of our members had a chance to handle and agreed it is as close to new as most have seen. Beautiful gun. Its one of those guns that has sat in the safe because I dont want to damage it. I have been on and off the fence about selling many times. Į shot it once but wont shoot it again. The delema of own a very high condtion gun.

Phil, can we,see,photos,of the gun..

Mark I am not sure how to post a link, but if you type in Heath in the search window I it will take you to a post on Skeet guns where pictures are posted. Not great pictures but later this week I can take better pictures of case colors.

These are the only one's I can find.

WOW “SWEET”

That’s awesome.

WOW!!

Not really. I bought the gun, not to possess, but to learn from. It was too nice to keep to myself, and if I needed to shoot a 30" 12ga, I had plenty of other choices. A friend and I stopped in a little shop on the way to shoot clays at Sandanonna. The owner of the shop took it out to show us. We took it away, without giving it a thorough going over, and it sat on the backseat while we were shooting. It wasn't until we got back to his house that we realized what it was, so I bought it right then. I don't know if it has remained unfired, but It wouldn't have, had we left it in that shop.

NVM. misread original request.

The Parker 410 with hang tags is as new.... rest of guns are 95% ++++
Ghe 20 is unfired

Where's the .410 Chuck?





.

bump

Very nice guns Chuck!

THANKS REGGIE! See you at the Southern

My .410 Skeet earned its many bumps and many scratches in Chuck's back yard in Loudon County Virginia. At one time it looked like Chuck's .410, but that was a long time ago.

Murph
at one time I looked like that 410 as well and got most of my bumps and bruises
in my backyard as well.:rotf:
