I forgot to mention in my last post that I did discuss this gun with Larry Del Grego. He has never heard or seen this feature on a Parker but was quite interested. I sent him some photos and I will post any response I receive from him.

After viewing the photos I sent him, Larry Del Grego said he had not seen this feature on any shotgun and was at a loss to explain the gizmos in my VH. He is going to look through some of his Parker info to see if there is any reference to them.

As I stated earlier in this thread, there is no mention of this device in The Parker Story and that's good enough for me that it is not an invention of or even installed by Parker Bros.

I saw a gentleman from Holland I think that carried his double open. He would not close it until the birds were in the air. Seemed strange to me. He was missing birds until another old fellow said something to him and then the story changed. He started killing about every one he shot at. Gerald

I wish more hunters, expecially preserve shooters, would walk with their guns open, because they sure don't know how to behave with a gun that is closed. It didn't used to be that way. What has happened? I have had preserve guides ask me about the gun handling of other shooters, hoping I can straighten them out.

I have shot on preserves in which the instruction was for all guns to be open until birds were in the air. We all felt safer and I continue to hunt that way. Shooting my lifter I feel that open is the only safe way and the shell retaining springs would be great. David
