Pete and all,
I own a high condition DH Damascus 34" 12 gauge built on a #3 frame. This Parker weighs 10 pounds even and is choked with .040" in each barrel. Mark

I have a 34" DHE 12 gauge straight grip on a 3 frame. A friend down in Mississippi has a 32" DH on a #3 frame I used to own as well. Destry has a #3 frame DHE he is quite fond of

Steve asked for pictures. Reminds me I need to take some. I think after nearly 5 years the cc has faded some but this is how it looked when I brought home from LD&S in '08. My recall is both barrels are .036 constriction.
I'd like to see pic's of those D grades.

Don is correct, "The Swamp Angel" and I are near constant companions in the duck blind. I think I killed every goose I shot last year with it as well. The big magnum 10 gauge was jealous, it's not been out of the house in a couple years.

I thought since it is the only Parker I own I would put in some pictures of mine. It is aVHE 12 gauge 3 frame 34'' barrels made in 1912. I bought it in 2005 several parts were parkerized including the barrels. I had the barrels reblued by Turnbull and am still working on saving for a complete metal restoration. I put some pictures of the forearm on to get an collective opinion on whether or not I should do a complete restoration. As far as I know the wood is untouched it has the exact dimensions as the letter gives 15'' LOP and 3 1/2'' drop at heel.

What a great gun for your only Parker. Some years ago, I traded a wonderful minty postwar 38-44 Outdoorsman for my cased DH 12 gauge Damascus factory two barrel set on the #3 frame. It's a pretty nice gun with pinned cheeks and outrageous barrels, 30" and 28", and skeleton butt. My DH Lefever sleeved mag ten was originally a #3 frame 32" Damascus twelve, also with skeleton butt. My "new to me" ex Austin Hogan extremely late lifter 12 is also on a #3 frame. In my experience, this is a real rarity, but I may be wrong about that. Of course, my little 28" 16 gauge Wisconsin grouse gun is also a #3 frame, but I guess this thread is about 12 gauges.
