Default Late model Remington guns

I am wondering what kind of information a person could hope to get on a very late model Remington Parker in the 240000 range.

Likely just an IBM card if anything.

If the gun was sold through Ambercrombie & Fitch you may be able to get a ton of information about the original gun and original buyer.

PGCA has some information beyond IBM cards on a number of Remington guns, but not any original owner information to speak of. Check the "research letters" department on the home page to see if there is any information available on your gun.

Thanks for the feedback. The serial number of the 20 gauge VHE is 241373. Parker records show there is information available.
Griffin and Howe do not show any records on their web site.
Original wood that is very nicely figured, with lots of case and bluing. Only real question is it has a pretty well dried red pad installed. Forgot to look the pad over for the maker.
Since I have never ordered a letter on a Remington era gun not sure what information I might be able to get. Have sent a PM to Chuck.
Any idea if Remington was installing pads, and what makes?

I have a Remington VH12 with a silvers like pad that has the butt covered with thin leather.

Phil,
Some late Remington Parkers came with Mershon pads.

Thanks guys for the information on the pads. I bought the gun, and will post some pictures in a few weeks when I pick it up. Really a sweet heart of a gun. Would enjoy seeing pictures of some of your Remington Parker's.
I am surprised to see D grade guns with pads, when the Skeleton butt plates look so nice but my very early DH 12 gauge with Vulcan barrels S/N 82223 letters with a Silvers pad, and a very recent buy a DH 28 SN 173862 letters with a Huntley pad.
