Not having any luck uploading any photos. Will try when I get home but the “4” in on the bottom of the barrel

The one I got is also a Grade 2 top lever hammer but not sure on the length. Will measure when I get home

We are getting comments from more than one poster. "Bottom of the barrel" does not describe the location of the frame number marking. The bottom of the rear locking lug is the location of the frame number. The "locking lug" is in the middle of the two barrels.

Sorry, that's what I meant. The "4" is on on the barrel lug as shown on the Technical Information page on this website.

According to the pictures, this does indeed appear to be a four-frame gun with unstruck barrel weight of 6lb 9oz.

The best way to tell what gauge it is would be to measure the inside diameters of the barrel & chamber bores, followed up with a PGCA letter if the factory records exist for it.

As Paul observed



The 'D' usually indicates Parker D3 3 iron "Oxford"
Interesting mark on the L tube I can't ID

Drew,

I have a few 4 frame 10's and they are great. You know it when you shoulder them
