New to the forum from Chicago, but my Uncle Richard Flanders is a long time user

Not sure if anyone noticed, but this VHE20 I gave to Ruth does not have "Parker Bros" engraved on the side of the receiver. It's not on the bottom either. It's a 1931 gun. Strangely enough, I never noticed this myself until Ed Muderlak was at my house and brought it to my attention. Does anyone else have one like that?

Richard, I have two. Both 20 ga., VHE 235964, PHE 235972. Strangely enough I had owned the VHE for almost 35 years, was sitting on a dove stool waiting for the afternoon flight, when I noticed the lack of markings on the frame. The barrels had the typical markings.
