Rare Parker Brothers Model VHE Grade 410 Double Barrel Shotgun with Abercrombie & Fitch Marked Leather Case

Manufactured in 1936, Parker only manufactured 469 VH Grade shotguns in 410 gauge. This shotgun features a single nickel bead on the matte concave solid rib marked " PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDEN. CT. U.S.A. VULCAN STEEL." at the breech end. 3" chambers, choked improved modified/improved modified with ejectors. The action has zigzag border engraving and is engraved "PARKER" on the bottom. The water table is dished and marked "PARKER BROS. / VH" on the right side and "238617 / V" on the left. The left side of the barrel flat is marked "OVERLOAD / PARKER GUN WORK / PROVED" and the lug is marked "410". The inside of the forearm hardware is numbered to the gun and marked with the 1901 patent date. Blue barrels and trigger guard, casehardened action and break lever, double triggers, tang mounted automatic safety and mounted with a checkered walnut splinter forearm and round knob pistol grip stock with a checkered hard rubber Dogs head Parker Bros. buttplate and gold initial shield inscribed "G.W.S. / JR.". Complete with leather Abercrombie and Fitch marked "mutton" case with a leather carrying strap which is also marked "G.W.S. / JR.". LOP 14 1/4".

ConditionPeriod refurbished with 99% plus blue finish on the barrels with only the slightest handling marks. The trigger guard retains 85% blue finish with areas thinning to a smooth gray patina. The action retains 95% case colors with a smooth silver gray on the high edges of the fences. The break lever is a mix of case colors and smooth gray patina. The refurbished wood remains very fine with a few minor dings and handling marks and sharp expertly re-cut checkering. A small portion of the matte pattern on the rib has been buffed down, otherwise the markings and engraving are clear. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good with a scattered white residue, probably from a leather cleaner, a few minor scuffs, heavy wear on the straps and tight stitching
