DHE Vent rib trap 219782
 

I lucked upon a few Parker's a month ago and was finally able to work out deal with a fine gentleman. In the bunch was 219782 DHE trap, Vent rib, beaver tail FA, single Selectable trigger with a straight grip......she's pretty well got all the options. Its on a 1 1/2 frame and has a 32" barrel. The serial book does not show all the options so it will be interesting to see the letter. There also an interesting stamp on the barrel flat about being bored. I did not mention it originally out of oversight but another member commented on it......thanks.

Brian: You sure come up with some great finds. It is a keeper for sure. Thomas

What's the barrel length? I have the same gun with 30 inch barrels and a pistol grip. Is the recoil pad a Hawkens pad?

Forgot to mention it is a 32" and yes a Hawkins. My guess is it is not the original pad if it came with a pad. Looking forward to the letter.

First I've seen bbl. flats marked with "Bored By......"! Would this have been a Parker employee? The name could have possibly been R.L.H. Rowe (in 2 places).

Nope, that's not a Parker Bros. or even a Remington stamp.

It's the mark of an independent gunsmith.

Very Nice One, i repaired 2 of this in past. they had clean bores and shoot great, unfortunately an some metal polisher refinished them improper, your only has natural wear. this is a great gun to be restored to factory new condition or renew by you preference.
