I have a grade 3 16 ga from 1905, but it has fluid steel barrels-you could still get them either way then.
How do the inside of the barrels look, are they pitted. As far as ammo, many of us including me shoot damascus barrels frequently . RST ammo made in Pa., is designed for these older guns, many of us load our own low pressure loads also. Have the gun checked out by a gunsmith that is knowledgeable on old doubles. I hope you get to shoot and enjoy it, a great old Parker.

Thank you for the reply and information! Yes, 30" barrels. They do not appear to be pitted.
I will keep .RST ammo in mind, after I have the gun checked out by a qualified gunsmith. Thanks again for bringing that company to my attention.
