I know of a hammerless CH or CHE, a 20 gauge with 30” “Damascus” barrels and no safety. It was originally shipped to Canada.
Today it sports 28” Belgian fluid steel barrels. A beautiful gun I made a sincere and very fair offer on but my offer was refused…

Jeff & Dean,

That's just the way the VHE 20 gauge tang appeared - just like yours. {Beautiful guns, by the way..!!}

Are there a number of Parkers out there w/o safeties on them, that you guys know of? I just cannot understand the thought of NOT having a safety on any gun..! Pigeon guns.?

I hope the new owner knows about the safety as the photos of it did not show that area very well. I assume they originally HAD to be ordered w/ no safety then?

Well, I learned something new today - thanks to you guys - thank you, all!

Happy, 1st Day of Spring, tomorrow.

Safety or not, all Parkers are completely safe… until the breech is closed.

Keep in mind that most safety delete guns that are factory made did in fact have a safety slot in the frame. They were filled and engraved over. So when closely inspecting guns without safeties, you may see the ghosted outline of the filled slot. That does not mean that it was done post-manufacture. That is how most of them are.

A safety delete gun is commonly called a “live bird gun” but that does bot mean that all were used for live bird or competition shooting. It is just for the ahooter who hates safeties on their guns.

The best gun safety is the 6 inches between your ears.

Jeff who does your 20 with no extension rib letter to? I have a couple of those and assume they are competitive pigeon shooters.
