1909 Parker VH Info Needed (Tiger Striped Case)

[Christopher Barker]

Based on the measurements, it is a 1 1/2 frame.

Next step, the PGCA letter. Not likely to be that interesting, but it will add quite a bit to the value if you choose to sell the gun. Without the letter, the suspicion of a cut off barrel will detract seriously from value.

1-1/2 makes sense with the 26" barrels.

Once at OGCA, I bought a #2 frame VH with cut off 26" barrels for about $250. After enjoying it for a while, I put it on the rack at a gun store where I was working with an $800 tag on it. The tag explained the cut barrels. I told the boss that I would take $300 for it. One day, I came to work and the boss handed me an $800 check. He had sold the gun for full price.
