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 hope the chambers are 3 1/2 ..

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...

To ride a horse, shoot a gun, and have good table manners goes a long way in the South. Mills and Harry have class.

Table manners need work but thank you.

Was sick today so didn't make it out hunting but did hit some clays and it did well

Looked through the serialization book and mine is by far the earliest VH 10 by serial number. Unless there is one before 228000 which is about where I started looking. I did not find too many in the serialization book. Parker story says there are 20 known and I bet this one was unknown until I found it so that makes 21.

Investigation continues. . .

Very nice, hopefully the young shooter will get to use it.
