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

I have seen personally a few 4 frame 10g guns. They are not very common.

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

Yeah I noticed that and thought it was odd too. Not sure what it's supposed to be

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

Many graded 4 frame guns are 11 pound pigeon guns, made at the maximum weight under early competition rules. Some are lettered to known shooters. Order a PGCA letter to find out.
