Default VHE stock.

Hi All.
The stocks on most vh and vhe Parkers have quite plan wood. But my gun
also a vhe 12 bore has a little better wood why? Would this be a upgrade
ordered from Parker when new. But who would care a Parker with any grade wood
is a gun to be proud of.
A pict or two.
All the best Dave.

That's a very nice gun. I have found that the wood used is sometimes nicer even in the lower grades during the Remington era of Parker history. When was your gun made?

That looks more like earlier G grade wood. My Remington era VH12 (1936) has gorgeous blondish wood with some figure. Much nicer than earlier stocks.

Based on the style of the checkering and shaping of the stock, it is a later manufactured gun.

And it was not uncommon for V grade guns into the 1920s and later to use much nicer wood than their earlier counterparts.

I likely do not need to point out that the case colors on your gun are not original and have been restored.

Another Remington era skeet gun. 20ga., 28" in the 240xxx range. Interesting note to George Purtill- the grip cap and rib are marked Parker Bros. Meriden,CT.
