It is hard to see the letters RKS on the corner of the barrel flat by the ejector in my photo.

Side of stock and but pad.
Could this have been a Larry Del Grego & Son built gun?

My opinion is that Del Grego upgraded the gun. Does it letter? Nice looking gun.

Can guns letter that are higher serial numbered than the serialization guide goes to?

I’d say definitely a Del Grego redo but probably not an upgrade. Probably restocked. What’s she choked?

Lot of strange things about that gun. No PARKER GUN WORKS, OVERLOAD PROVED stamps on the barrel flats. Doesn't have the grade gauge and chamber length on the left side of the lug that one would expect this late --
242111 05.jpg This is my 16-gauge VHE with a date code of XJ (yellow arrows) -- 241968 01a 26-inch, 16-gauge, XJ X = December, J = 1940.jpg The barrels of the gun in question have a date code of XK X = December K = 1941 Also, as can be noted on my gun the serial number and choke marks are normally on the barrel flats on these very latest guns. It also appears there was a repair code on the barrel flat, ?H3, but I can't read the first letter. H would be 1939 or 1961 neither of which make sense. Here is a barrel flat a couple of digits lower with everything we would expect on a very late gun -- 242301 01 VHE Trap Gun, 30-inch Vent Rib, XK X = December, K = 1941.jpg with also a number of repair codes. |
