Thanks Dean but I’m still confused by your statement “of of the 10 gauges.”

I seem to recall, according to The Parker Story, that several 10's were also made in this configuration.

Again, according to The Parker Story there were at least ten "DamVul" 10-gauges in the books 30- & 32-inch and one 12-gauge 34-inch. The 10-gauges were in the same serial number range as the Twist Trojans. These were made long before the VH/VHE was cataloged as being available in 10-gauge. I seem to recall Mills having one?!?
