I have Kf stamped on my barrel and always wondered what it meant.

Ed, you say we may never know for sure. As time goes on, we will find a couple or a few more guns between the first VH and your gun. Then we will know. This is the first of this type we have seen, but will probably not be the last. What we have learned since we opened the records in 1997 and 1998 boggles the mind.

Bill, I'm glad the VH we have been discussing has contributed a little to the Parker story. The added mystery of this gun is one of the reasons I really enjoy being the researcher for our shop.

You and the other folks that chipped in with their knowledge has given me a great respect for the members of the PGCA on this forum.

Good luck filling in the VH story and thanks to all of you.
