The BHE .410 I got to see in the Safari Room of the sporting goods section of Frederick & Nelson department store in downtown Seattle when I was a college student had a vent rib and as I recall quite long barrels. It wasn't for sale there. The owner (?) was showing it off to Mr. Tibbitts the manager.
Were folks already upgrading Parker .410s by the 1966-8 time frame? Unfortunately that was 35-40 years before I was writing down serial numbers and specifications. Sure wish I'd have had a cell phone with a camera that day!!
