I have a Parker(VH 410) that is not pictured but is mentioned by serial number in his book. This is a good book to own if your interested in 410's that were offered by several different gun manufacturers. Also-shows alot of good pictures of rare 410's.

I was surprised at the amount of detail on specific guns, as John and Stan mentioned. It's an interesting book, especially if you happen to come across one of the documented guns in it.

I am constantly amazed at the research apparently done by Mr. Gabriel to write this book.

I agree, Bill. I thought someone here on the forum would know him and perhaps had collaborated with him (my first guess would have been you).

I was looking through the book again today and did find a picture of my Parker 410 VH pictured on page 68(bottom gun) It is listed as a VHE instead of a VH. The picture of the gun is nice but not as good as the close-ups in the Parker Story-which show the beautiful case colors on the receiver. I also like the picture of the 5E and 7E Ithacas. I would love to see these two guns in person.

John, I looked at your gun. You are a lucky man!
