More than 20 times rarer than a V grade .410 at approximately 469 made! 😊

I think it would be nice to have a Data Base for these Rare Parker Brother 10 Gauge Fluid Steel barreled guns ! It could be a List of Guns Found with the Serial Numbers and Information on each gun the same as The Serialization book and For Members Only ! It seems as if all the Grades had at least a few , I own a DHE 10 Bore with 32" Titanic Steel barrels ,Ejectors ,Capped Pistol Grip with a Skeleton Butt Treatment ! The Parker Story Lists Only 1,28" D Grade ,8 .30" ,31,32" and 5 34" Barreled D Grade 10 Bores with Titanic Steel barrels ! I am a statistic kind of person and find myself in The Production Statistic part of The Parker Story almost on a Daily Basis ! It would be nice to have this information such as how many are accounted for ,Have Straight Stocks ,Ejectors etc. and also how many are left to be found ! Just a thought on my part but we are all some type of collector Large or Small these facts would benefit us all !

The 10-gauge VH-/VHE-Grades were late vintage. No mention of 10-gauge for the VH-/VHE-Grade in the 1929 catalog but by the 1930 catalog the 10-gauge could be had in a VH-/VHE-Grade for $10 additional. (The Parker Story says the 10-gauge VH-/VHE-Grade wasn't offered until 1932, page 255) Parker Bros. probably began offering it when they discontinued the PH-/PHE-Grade, previously the lowest grade offered in 10-gauge.

I would love to have a Remington GH 10 gauge. There is a GH 10 in the Rock Island Auction today, but too many other irons in the fire

It went for a good price if I recall correctly, as did many of the Parkers.
