I was looking through old threads and read this one today. I did look at the pictures, and realized that the gu (per the TG) is 141876 as stated. The forend iron, is marked 140876. The barrel number isn't visible. Seems strange to be off by exactly 1000, but also I would bet the forend, iron and stock were all switched at the same time. Neither gun appears in the serialization book, but both numbers indicate factory records are available.
This was a big year for Parker production (around 7000 guns) but they went through a period of almos 3000 serial numbers with no VH guns listed, but missing numbers may be in the majority durung that period. Immediately before and after. Vulcans were built in huge blocks.
Interesting, but this particular gun appears to have been put together aftermarket with bits and pieces.
