Parker 10 Gauge Help

[Setter Man]

Great old gun. Not sure how it's done but I have seen metal cleaned with rotten stone and light oil and the results have been excellent. It does not make the metal look new, just clean, and it there are remaining case colors they'll appear.

Caution! - look again at the picture of the top lever - there is still color under the crud - use nothing abrasive

The "3" in your picture is not a frame size marking, it is a grade marking. The frame size marking is on the bottom of the rear barrel lug.

IT's getting so now I rarely see an 8 or 10 gauge hammerless Parker I don't like

And this one is certainly no exception !

First thank you all for your replies and kind words. Hopefully this is the correct picture of the frame size. Also I have a picture of the oval metal plate on the bottom of the stock. What is the purpose of this?

On any of the guns I have with a plate there or have seen , were typically engraved with initials .

The frame size of your gun is a #3 as you have surmised .
