Hello Dave: Robin, Russ & Dean gave you all the right information. If you are really interested in Parker guns, buy or borrow the books mentioned and then get to one of the shoots like Jack's in Duluth. To answer your question, until the Trojan came along the VH was the "entry level" Parker. Not to say that it was cheaply made because it was not. My saying is "a Parker is a Parker is a Parker". The only differences are embellishment, engraving, type of wood, checkering, ejectors and barrel steel type (although many believe that Acme, Parker Special, Titanic and Vulcan steels were all the same with different names applied, although with the pre-fluid steel there were real differences). Anyhow, welcome aboard and my sincere sympathy because one Parker is never enough.
Best Regards, George Lander
