I notice that the ammunition manufactures suggested in this thread only sell 2 3/4" or longer 12 gauge shells.
You need to check the chamber length of your 1921 VH. The major plus for RST is that they sell (OK, sold) short chamber non toxic shells, e.g, 2 1/2 inch 12 gauge. Your VH may have chambers for 2 1/2 inch shells. If the chambers have been lengthened, than it might (emph might) weaken the breach area of that 94 year old gun.
I would strongly suggest that you have a gunsmith who knows doubles and check the wall thickness of the barrels. It is probably fine to shoot and more than one Parker owner has used 2 3/4" shells in guns chambered for 2 1/2" with no consequence other than a stronger recoil, but it never hurts to make sure the gun is safe.
Best regards,
