This information affirms what Mr. DelGrego told me today, yahoo! Life is good....

Dan,

Congrat's on acquiring such a nice gun.

Would you be able to post a picture of the modified trap forearm. I have a Remington era VHE with a factory modified trap forearm and would like to compare it to yours.

I was told directly by Babe Del Grego when i visited their shop for restoration work on my grandfathers VH that, "The pgca doesn't have all the Parker Records, we have many..." unquote. Just fyi

There are 30 missing stock books of an estimated total of 82 from 1874 to 1935.

Order books are a different story.....

The DelGrego shop does not have all of the missing books by a long shot.

And, the books they have are Remingtons property. Not theirs.

I am enjoying the replies and opinions generated by my original post, seems to be a lot of interest. I am curious as to how many CHE's were fitted with a vent rib, SST and "Modified Trap Forend" Beavertail to us common folk, LOL.

I had one - 230760 12/30 F/F - the book was missing on this s/n range too.

Sorry I didn't see your question on my last post, currently my gun is at DelGrego's but when I get it back I'd be happy to post a few pictures of the forearm.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the PGCA members.

I had one too: CHE 12 gauge, SN 239669 with 30" vent rib barrels, Parker single selective trigger, straight stock, beavertail fore end and a No-Shoc pad. About a 90% all original sweetheart.

Sold it 46 years ago. Craig B. might remember it.

Dan , I drove up to Larrys a Number of years back ,my Wife and I ! I took a CHE 20 Gauge up that has some very unusual Checkering and wanted to have him place the Tools that they used for stamping the wood into the serial# to attempt to prove the stock on the gun is truly original ! The Stamps fit perfectly and we had a Wonderful Afternoon visiting with Larry ! Although it was a 7 1/2 hour drive each way for us ,I was glad we made the trip and we were never treated nicer at any place of business ! Congrats. !!!!!! on a Beautiful Gun !
