Parker VH 410

[Broadbill]

I recently picked up a VH 410. I've been looking at pictures online and can find others like it with one difference. Mine has a single trigger and a safety/selector on the tang. According to the serial# it was made in 1928. I miked the bores and there appears to be a slight difference but I really can't get a good reading. It reads .387 left and .397 right.

Everything I find has double triggers and no selector. Any info would be great.

The trigger was an option. From the 1999 Standard Catalog of Firearms introduction to the Parker shotgun section:

"In addition, uncommon extras such as single triggers, ventilated ribs, beavertail forearms, straight grip stocks, and skeleton steel butt plates may add substantial value to individual guns."

"Picked it up"?

Well, put it down, smallbore Parkers are expensive.
