Thanks John,

I just ordered that one. Did you check out our website? We're in a unique / collectors type business too. Thats why these Parkers interest me so much. I'm loving it!

I'm starting to think that I may have a #1 frame. Does that make sence? All the serial numbers match everywhere. On the back of the butt plate it has the number 1 on it. The front has the dog with a bird in its mouth. As close as I can measure it looks closer to the #1 than it does the #0.

OK - on the bottom of the barrel lug - can you tell us what number is stamped there?

Like where this number is stamped:

John,

Sorry to keep bugging you. It measures 1 3/4 by and as close as I can tell 4 7/8 with 2 5/8 hole spacing center to center and at the top hole somewhere around .410. It has the spur with the setter and the snipe in it's mouth. On the back stamped #1. I'm going to order a research letter. Could this have been a special order or something?

Steve

Still sounds like a 16 Gauge VH with a number 0 frame. That buttplate with the dog and snipe would be normal for that level gun. If you want to send me a PM with the s/n I'll look it up in the book. If its listed, that should tell the story. Regards Tom

Many 0 frame guns have 1 frame stocks. Some 1 frame guns have 0 frame stocks. The 0 frame buttplate has the setter puppy figure. The 1 frame buttplate has a pointer or retriever with a bird in his mouth. Order the one that is like the one that came on your gun.
