Larry, a lot of the guns with the checkered butt are shown in the books as "no butt" or "no butt plate".

Larry,

I can help on another I have, on my 34" DHE 12 gauge letter it says "no butt plate, no safety". I'll report back on this one when I get it.

Brian

What a gorgeous gun Brian, one to die for. I have 128809 which is a VH 20 with 30" vulcan steel barrels, straight grip and no safety. A real joy to shoot.
The gun letters to W.R. Crosby, ordered by DuBray and at the end of the letter says "compliments of Parker Bros". How cool is that? Can't wait to see your letter.

A lot of word of mouth at local gun shows and business cards, a couple of large signs at my table with "Parker's Wanted" on them. For every 20 guns I am offered I find 1 maybe 2 prospects. Most I am offered are VH guns beat to death and early damascus low grade 10 gauge guns rusted beyond repair. One thing is for certain, you have to love the hunt and you have to like people, I am guilty of both. This gun came from a game wardens family in central Canada, supposedly it had been with the family for many decades.

[QUOTE=Dean Romig;184652

I know the whereabouts of a wonderful straight grip sixteen gauge GHE with 32" Parker Special Steel barrels. I've handled it several times... but it's just not for sale... NUTS!






.[/QUOTE]

Dean I know where there is a 32 inch straight grip 16 that you can at least shoot at either the Southern or Hausmanns IF your very,very good......oh by the way it does have hammers
I have a Damascus GHE 16 with a skeleton but, no information is available though
Nice find Brian

Brian, I have a G grade that's almost a twin to yours. Mine has Special Steel barrels and a dog's head butt plate. I love the checkered butt on your gun, I wish mine had it too!
