It's a ten plus pounder, the lightest Parker eight I've ever seen or weighed. The barrels are only marked 6-9, a pound and a half lighter than some Parker eights I own or have inspected. Such a quail gun.

It's a standard #6 frame gun. The barrels are struck a bit more than normal eight gauge Parker barrels.

Gentlemen,

I wasn't prepared for studio photography at the Eastern Panhandle SxS Shoot but when Jonathan Engle's Great-Great Grandfather's B Grade 8 Gauge appeared I took a couple snapshots. I hope you like them.
