VHE 20 ga

Dave, the CH Grade is pictured on page 286 of Ed's "Shooting Flying" and also in two pictures in Double Gun Journal Volume 8, issue 1, page 52. Kevin McCormack also comments about unengraved Parkers in that article. Both of Kevin's articles on the Del Grego family and shop are worth a reread. Volume 7, issue 4 and Volume 8, issue 1. Since I don't post pictures, you can look at pictures of my favorite AHE trap gun in the second article. Dave, like some other of my trap guns, this one could be yours some day. I paid $2200 for it, but Linda may expect a little profit when she sells it. By the way, the 1972 pictures of Babe and Larry Del Grego Senior were taken by my Dad. My Dad and Larry were from the same rust belt generation and had plenty in common. Good grief, my Dad took those pictures 41 years ago.

I'll check it out. Thanks again Bill. Interesting stuff.

Sorry, Dave, I edited my last post to identify the grade of your next trap gun. I hope your favorite son enjoys it.

Hi Folks,

I hate to sound dumb but, here goes. How can you have an unengraved C grade or an unengraved B grade? Other than barrel steel and wood quality isn't the engraving on the receiver what really makes a gun a certain grade?
