Pre 1900 1 frame 12's seem to be more common than post. Just have never seen a 1 frame 12 with 32" barrels.

I once owned a twist barreled 32” PH on a 1 frame. It was early 1890s and had the parker trap gun buttplate on it.

I’ve got a GH damascus 12 gauge 32” that I bought from someone here . I’ve not had it in my hands in over a year and for the life of me don’t remember what size frame it’s on !!

The 1 1/2 frame made its appearance in the late 1890’s and probably supplanted the 1 frame in many cases where a lighter gun was preferred over the weight of a 2 frame. Maybe even more so when longer barrels were ordered.
But the introduction of the 1 1/2 frame didn’t entirely replace the 1 frame 12 gauge. We have seen plenty of 1 frame 12 gauge guns of much later production. .

Dean,
Pat Laib in Spicer, MN works on Parkers and he can do general repairs, measure wall thickness and perform safety inspections. 320-796-2686. He did some work for me on another double and I would recommend him. Just an FYI, due to liability issues Pat will tell you his policy is not to recommend shooting modern loads in any gun with Damascus barrels. |

Dean I have done business with Pat Laib in Spicer, Mn for 30 years. He is a fine smith, however I agree with Garth in that he will recommend not shooting damascus with any kind of ammunition
