1924 VH Parker Information

[Pheasant Slayer]

So this gun is a 1 Frame, correct? and 12 stands for 12 ga.? I am also curious if you know if the VH came from the factory with Ivory beads or was this also a special order?

PGCA research material available on guns of that era usually do not include information about Lyman sights. Many Parkers included this option, but non original installation of Lyman sights do not detract from collector value. The original stock likely measured about 14" to 14 1/4" from the middle of the front trigger to the middle of the hard rubber buttplate. An original uncut stock would probably measure about 13 3/4" to 14" from the trigger to the middle of the wood at the butt and the butt would be cut on a slight curve. A #1 frame 12 gauge gun of that era is scarce and coveted by shooters and also by collectors if in high condition.
