Serial number 236593 info needed
 

Can someone please tell me what the serialization book says?

236593 V H 18 C 12 30

18 = single trigger

18=single trigger, beavertail forearm and vent rib.

It's for sale and is listed as an AAHE. It's out of my price range so someone here might want to check it out as well as several other nice-looking guns listed this morning.

The AAHE is underpriced, but the reason is probably because it is listed in the SB as a V Grade, probably an upgrade but nothing is said about that in the ad. It is worth requesting some better pictures because it may be a good DelGrego-Runge upgrade.

Parkers at Durys
 

Yeah Dave those guys have several Parkers on GI. They obviously bought someone's collection, and some are highly altered, some appear to be somewhat original. But they really don't know what they're selling, and they don't know enough to even say what has been done to a lot of those guns. And their pictures from across the room don't help either. Getting more good pictures from them is kind of a chore too. It's a very frustrating situation. Good luck.

The contour of the fluting at the nose of the comb suggests to me it is a Runge-DelGrego upgrade.

SOLD
 

Interestingly enough, the shop just informed me that this gun did sell.

At least it did have good bones to do an upgrade with.

I wonder if the buyer knew that it was not an original AAHE? Terrible pictures, bad or non existent descriptions, too bad, they seem to have a few good guns.

I am also wondering about the same thing.
