Hello Steve ,Thank you ,This particular gun is an original VHE 410 , This gun is from the collection of Otis Odom ,one of the early , and from what I understand Greatest of Parker Collectors ! I know there are those on our Forum that knew him personally ,I did not ! With that said Robert Runge was commissioned by Mr. Odom to take this particular original and new condition VHE and build it into a " BHE Grade gun " It is beautiful and the workmanship is second to none ,it is a pleasure to behold ! I am very pleased to have the opportunity to be the new Care Taker of this Fine Firearm for a while ! I appreciate your post and appreciate the opportunity to describe the gun . I actually met with Chuck Brunner today to purchase the beautiful, Round Knob VH 410 he is advertising and ask him to Please bring this gun along to look at ,WELL ,The rest is History ! Russ

No question at all about that being a fine example of Robert Runge's engraving - very nice!

Well Russ, you finally got your high-grade .410 even if it isn't the one you had originally lusted after.

Please show more pictures of your new B... lots more pictures.

Good Morning Dean , I got home from buying the gun yesterday afternoon and saw this thread and thought I would take a few pics. and post them just for a little fun ! The other 410 that Chuck has right now really is a Great Gun ,any one contemplating a 410 should really take a look at her ! I only have these couple of pics. right at the moment and our Archery season starts today ,when I get in from hunting or in the near future ,I will take some nice pics. of the gun and post them on a new Thread for anyone that would be interested in taking a good look at her ! Russ

Russ congrats on the BHE. I talked to Chuck yesterday and he had said he sold it. I have the big sister to that gun a BH 28 that also belonged to Otis Odem. The 410 will stay on my wish list for a while yet as after the Southern and Hausmanns I have added four very nice guns and have a Parker 20 project going on so it's always good to have something to lust after.

Rich, Since the VH 410 is still available I am sure you could ask Chuck about his "layaway plan"

Just a thought......

Rich, how many units for that .410? Russ, that's one beautiful Runge upgrade; guess you won't be looking for a Huglu now.
