Yes, it is a #3 frame 16, with 28" original Vulcan Steel barrels. I'm sure we all thought they had been cut. I don't know how it was originally choked, but today it has original .665 bores, cylinder in the right barrel and .005 in the left. I doubt that it left the factory that way. I have procrastinated sending for a letter because I want to order several and am getting the information together for Mark. The gun is listed in the stock book at 8 pounds, 13 ounces, and the actual weight is 8 pounds, 8 ounces. I shot a round of skeet with it today and it is a horse. No recoil at all with one ounce game loads. I will report back when I get order book information. One thing we know is that the gun was special ordered with "figured wood", an unusual spec for a VH grade. It is about the whitest Parker I have ever seen, extreme field wear on every surface, but not a sign of any dents, deep scratches, or abuse, and totally original with great screws.
