The gun Frank describes probably predates the "Long Range" 3" gun seen in Parker literature. By the way, a letter or other documentation is not necessary to identify an original "Long Range" 3" gun. They were stamped on the left side barrel lug with the 3" marking along with the grade of the gun. To answer Dave's question, Albright's Gun Shop in Easton, Maryland sold a field used VHE 3" marked 30" #1 1/2 frame gun several years ago. It had/has typical Remington markings on the left side of the barrel lug. I could not get past the low condition and short stock so it went on to be sold to Mark Conrad. I believe Mark improved the condition a bit and may have sold it. I have not seen the gun for more than 15 years. It was a beavertail, single trigger gun.
