How long are the barrels and what do the chambers measure? If they were chambered from the factory for three-inch shells it is more likely they are 2 7/8". If they actually measure 3" I would suspect they may have been lengthened aftermarket.

Parker didn't normally stamp the chamber length, so I would guess you may be reading something else.
Can you post pictures of the gun, including one of the stamps on the barrel flats? .

Does the 3 have another number offset from it?
If so. That is the barrel weight

Steve sent me photos of his VH.
IMG_4308.JPG IMG_4312.JPG IMG_4314.JPG IMG_4359.JPG IMG_4363.JPG IMG_4360.JPG IMG_4357.JPG IMG_4315.JPG IMG_4361.JPG IMG_4311.JPG IMG_4310.JPG IMG_4307.JPG It truly is in very good condition as he describes. We all know that we have to be hesitant to take someones word for it since condition is subjective. That is why pictures will usually tell the true story. In my opinion, I see a all original gun that could be considered in the 90% range by way of condition. I would tell steve that a good insurance value on the gun may be $4,000. The market may not be that high for a sale, but I would like to see this gun sell for at least $3,000 - $3,500. My thoughts.
