Check for the serial number stamped under the rib. Between the second and third posts if I remember correctly.
You will likely need a dental mirror to see it. |

Another clue to examine is the rib legend. On the VR guns it will be hand engraved vs roll stamped. The difference is actually quote easy to spot when you compare the two styles side by side. The top pic being a VR gun, the bottom of a solid rib.

Bruce is right most factory vent ribs I have seen have part of the serial number stamped between the second and third post, and you will need a dental mirror to see it Gary

Most often it is the last three digits of the gun's serial number stamped on the bottom of the rib.

The last 3 digits under the rib can be tricky to spot for my eyes however outdoors they tend to jump out at me. The lack of the numbers does not mean the rib is not correct, I have seen guns that letter that lack the numbers under the rib. I have a BHE that letters as a VR gun and it has one digit or letter only under the rib. I have tried to convince myself if is a 5 for the grade but honestly I cannot tell if it is a 5 or an S or possibly neither and I have stared at it a bunch.

i used to own 222,223 many years ago, and always wondered what happened to it. regretted selling it off. it had a straight grip, factory beavertail and VR, and a Miller single trigger. did you know that it originally had a second set of barrels? i am certain that the second barrel set would have been 26" skeet/skeet VR. i used to advertise to find that second barrel set, at a time before the internet (and before parker collecting club had organized itself) to no avail. i am an advanced collector, just not of parkers, owning only a couple, and am not a member of that collecting club. just joined this forum so i could respond to finally relocating this particular gun. jc hurt
