Bill, NO, the VHE is not the gun in the photo, and that "guy" is NOT who most folks think he is ~ (Sorry Dr. Drew)...

The 32" VHE Vent/Trap Gun shown in the previous photo was discovered disassembled hidden away in a basement wrapped in old linens, the separated pieces in various cases and boxes. Overall, a Parker that had been dormant for many years. An additional set of shorter barrels, and some interesting TrapShoot related memorabilia discovered later is what made the story surrounding this particular Parker a little more interesting. Research on this one continues...

I have entered a new realm with our "Original" old photo collection. High resolution restoration of 100+ year old photographs continues to reveal details never before seen. The enlarged poster size photo above showing the early competition shooter with his trophies, is a good example of secrets later revealed... Many things are possible when you Own the original image.

Randy, Check your PM's...



Best, Chris ~ CSL
