VHE 20 ga

[Autumn Daze]

Gents, We must remember that Parker Bros. would supply the customer with anything they wanted within reason of course. We have a member with a great 26" 12 gauge VHE that letters as having been ordered with C grade wood and checkering. What a great gun.

Robert, $22.50 discount on the $150.00 C Grade wouldn't have qualified for "better barrels at lower cost". Unfortunately, there was no clue about the reason for the lack of engraving on the C Grade. The person ordering the gun was an active duty company grade commissioned officer in the northern plains. Maybe he didn't want to have an extravigant looking gun to accompany his senior officers on Great Plains bird hunts. This has always been my take on the order, but who knows.
