[Frank G Riess]

Would any information be available in a research letter that would be any different than what would appear in the book "Parker Gun Identification and Serialization? I have a DH grade gun #99950 that has a barrel marked Vulcan Steel and a DHE # 130758 that barrel is also marked Vulcan Steel and it has dogs head butt plate. It has a BTF and a pistol grip stock. The serialization book says it should have a straight stock and does not mention the BTF. I am wondering if these guns could have been returned to factory for replacement barrels or were some D grade guns supplied with Vulcan steel barrels and the DHE restocked. The guns were part of a five gun collection I recently acquired. The other three are all what they appeared to be. Thanks for any help.
