Thanks for the compliments!

Craig, I hope to get it in a PP article, but it might have to wait until duck season. With luck, though, I will get a turkey with it this weekend

Great gun!! From 1889 through at least 1929, when it was over stamped Discontinued, the PH-/PHE- was the lowest grade offered in 10-gauge. By the 1930 catalog the VH-/VHE- carried the line "10 gauge may be obtained in this grade, at $10.00 additional." With a serial number in the 230xxx range this must be one of the first, of the very few, VH-Grade 10-gauges made. By the serial number chronology in the back of The Parker Story, 1929. The 3 1/2 inch Magnum-10 wasn't introduced until 1932.

I'd hope they are not.

So, is the guy in the last photo the dealer...and did he sell it to you from the back of his truck?!

That young man will have a pretty darned nice gun room someday...
