Thanks Mr. Dudley. I have now found them online. I'm sure no one around me carries them. I guess next I need to determine the chamber length in my gun. What were the common 10ga chamber lengths in 1895?

I too would like to know the answer to this. It will probably be how this gun ends up. I don't think a complete refurbish is in its future.

I bought a DH one time that the receiver had been buffed so bright, I thought it was plated. A drop of cold blue told me it was polished steel. I put light coats of cold blue on it and worked it with 0000 and oil until it was a satin grey to my liking, as it remains today. It looks like guns that have a patina from use. But even if you use Flitz, the amount of engraving on a DH will not make it look bright for it will dull with handling. |

Well, I am finally in possession of my "new to me" Parker D in 10ga. I have taken a bunch of close-ups that I'll post is a few posts. Tell me what I can and can't do to take good care of her. I'd like to get rid of any corrosion if possible but of course, don't want to damage anything in the process. I've taken a few pics of its many flaws (those darn buggered up screws look like warts on Miss America). I know I paid a pretty penny for her but its to become a family heirloom not so much as an investment.
Figure I'll start with a few pics of the engraving: I'll add three or four as I go. Please feel free to comment. If I'm adding too many pics please let me know!
