Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Very true. I was just exploring other possibilities. I would like to see good phots of the gun.

If the original, now missing, gun was rebarreled by Parker, I sincerely doubt they would have used the original lug section. It was far easier to fit a new set of barrels to the gun, than completely disassemble the old set. They had unfinished barrel sets on hand and it was a simple matter to install them.
Since there were almost 80,000 VH grade guns made, predominantly in 2 frame 12 bore, there were plenty of barrel sets out there. I can see reusing the locking lugs if you were going from Top lever to Hammerless, Lifter to Top Lever, or whatever, but not hammerless to hammerless.
