Mearl also brought along 3 other Parkers. One was a VHE that was also upgraded with additional engraving and non original wood. It had a non factory vent rib and beavertail forend. Both the forend and butt stock were not original however the forend did have the reinforcing screw and iron with ejectors. There was a custom grip cap installed. This gun had the previous owners name on the trigger guard. Sorry I don't remember his name however he was a pro baseball pitcher for the Red's in the 30's and early 40's. Mearl showed me an original baseball card for him and a letter from the Baseball Hall of Fame stating that he was not in the Hall of Fame but had statistics that were Hall of Fame caliber.

The other 2 guns were original except for possibly the chokes on the GH. A 1891 GH that had Vulcan barrels which were factory. The second was a very nice 32" SC SBT from about 1922.
