This unique Parker VHE shotgun is documented as being made up from available parts at the Remington factory after WWII when Remington was no longer building Parker Shotguns. A typed letter from Larry DelGrego on his letter head, dated August 13, 1973 states that he and Bob Runge, the original Parker engraver, made this gun for a personal friend of DelGrego's, Bill Parsons, who in turn sold it to a Mr. Duncan. Parsons at the time was the Chief Buyer for Remington Arms Co. and made many trips to Missouri-Iowa Walnut to purchase wood. The letter states "I made this gun up from scratch for my personal friend, Bill Parsons..." The letter further states that Bob Runge did the engraving specially for this gun and that "at the time I was afraid to put a standard grade on these guns as I thought I was infringing on Remington patents." In part Del Grego concludes "Therefore you can call this gun special made by DelGrego and Bob Runge". The shotgun features double ivory bead sights on the concave solid matte rib with the one line address, "Vulcan Steel" marked at the breech end of the rib. The barrels gauge at full/modified, with 2 3/4" chambers and ejectors. The barrels and trigger guard are blue, the action and break lever casehardened and the triggers are bright.

There is a 1 1/2" wedge of floral scroll and punch dot engraving on the breech ends of the barrels.
