Some time before the Chaddick BHE 0000 .410 was offered, Mike Weatherby advertised one for $16,500 in 1993 and apparently sold it. Have I ever seen one? A prototype was shown by Northeast Area Representative, the late Ray Stone, at a local gathering on August 31, 1988. A couple of us offered to buy the prototype, but Ray would not let it go. A friend and I placed an order for a consecutive numbered near matching pair, paid our deposits which were returned a couple of years later. Another person at the showing actually did receive his gun. Kevin McCormack and I cooperated on "The .410 Bore Parker" display at the Baltimore Show a few years ago where this gun and several other wonderful .410 Parkers were displayed. This was the annual Parker display that Kevin initiated many years ago. Among Parkers displayed were a production BHE 0000 frame, a 0000 frame gun sculpted and custom engraved by Geoffrey Gournet, a multi barrel DHE Repro set with .410 barrels, a VHE .410 Skeet with rare capped pistol grip in Abercrombie and Fitch trunk case and A&F accessories, a screaming GHE .410 field configured gun, and maybe others I can't recall. It was a display to remember.
