*PARKER BROTHERS VHE .410 UPGRADED TO A-1 SPECIAL WITH BEAVERTAIL FOREND, STRAIGHT GRIP, AND SINGLE TRIGGER. SN 224382. Cal. 410 ga. 3″ Chambers. 000 Frame. This well done upgrade mimics the style and presence of a typical late A-1 Special, original examples of which were, as far as we know, never made in this gauge. Stampings on bbl flats and water table have been correctly replicated, and no “steel” designation appears on top of bbl. Action is engraved with fine scroll and floral motifs. Double beads are neatly filed around fences. Action transition has filed in S-shaped bead. “Parker Bros” is inlaid in gold on bottom of action, and SN is inlaid in gold on long tang trigger guard. Gold-plated single selective trigger has been fitted. Nicely marbled and slightly figured European walnut straight grip buttstock measures 14-1/4″ over skeleton steel buttplate. Gold oval on toe line has had initials erased. Side panels, fleur de lis drop points, and checkering closely replicate late A-1 Special treatment. Matching beavertail ejector forend also matches correct style, but without through-bolt. Bore diameter at muzzle: left -.399, right -.399. Wall thickness: left -.040, right -.050. Drop at heel: 2-3/16″, drop at comb: 1-3/16″. Weight: 5 lbs. 15 oz. LOP 14-1/4″. CONDITION: Excellent, as refurbished. Metal parts retain virtually all of their new finish. Bbls are slightly silvered at muzzles, trigger guard slightly silvered at grip. Minor marks are in buttstock. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. Ejectors are in time. Trigger works. This would make a lovely little field gun. 4-42220 MGM15 (20,000-30,000)
