1930 Parker VHE

[J.B. Books]

As far as the question of who would restore a VH. If I recall correctly in a discussion I had with Babe DelGrego a few years back he talked about busy times in the shop during the old days. I think they were buying tired guns, restoring them and reselling them for a profit since most of the cost was in their labor. Even recasing receivers was costing them very little due to connections at Remington. I suspect there are more restored VH's out there then people think.

I also don't think I have ever seen a marking on a gun indicating their work except for DelGrego & Son recoil pads and the polishing line indicative of some their work on the receiver.
