Default Help in identifying receiver

I have a Parker receiver that I am needing help identifying. Also a approximate value would be appreciated!
It is marked Parker Bros on both sides and has
VM
210***
V
stamped in it.
I also have a few foreends, how do I identify what they are and gauge they belong to?

Thank you!

Mark

a complete serial number would help

all that can be said from that is that it is a VH made in 1924

same thing for the foreends - a serial number may tell you the model and gauge, but not the frame size

The frame can be partially identified by measuring the exact distance between the firing pin centers to the sixteenth. The forends are identified by the exact distance between the tips at the rear of the metal.
