Or there is an error in the records.

Example: I have a Grade 4 made in 1884 with 30" Bernard barrels. The gun is all original.... The research letter shows the gun as having been made with 30" Damascus barrels. Chuck even double-checked for me but couldn't find anything mentioning Bernard barrels.

Either way, it sure is a crisp looking Parker. If you decide you don't want it, I'll take it. Next time I get brussel sprouts, you can have mine.

Thank you Greg Im pretty sure she is going home with me. Fits me great. Just hoping to learn as much as I can. Chasing guns is like chasing birds, the fun is in the hunt.

Here's information on 238330. It was also ordered by Heath. As you can see it is a optioned up gun. Straight grip with the heavy trap comb, single trigger, Modified Trap Forearm, checkered butt, twin ivories etc. The interesting thing is the gun has all the makings of a skeet gun except the constrictions are .028" on each bore & not marked on the flats.

Here's some pic's:

More pic's of 238330 Notice the letter doesn't mention the straight grip or butt treatment. The serialization book does list it has having the straight grip though.

Does anyone have any information on J.G Heath ?

Here's another Remington Parker for your article. S/N 239189, 1936. 26" 1-1/2 frame. The pad has a thin glued on leather covering on the butt. 1-1/2" DAC, 2-1/2" DAH, which makes it the flattest Parker I have. Very nice little gun. Best shooting shotgun for me that I've ever owned. I killed I think it was 54 birds in a day at a Utah preserve with it once.

Phil, that gun you have on hold is gorgeous and looks to be worth whatever you have to pay for it. And it's littermate 330 is stunning to say the least.

The limited knowledge i have been able to find on J G Heath is he was a competative trap shooter at one point and was the VP of sales for Remington in the 30's.
