EH and NH tens were not made in #4 and #5 frames. The 4, 5, and 7 were hammer gun frames unless there is some rare exception out there. EH and NH tens were made in #2, #3, and #6 frames.

my EH 3 frame, 32 in. is 9 lbs i had a NH 32 in. 3 frame at 10 lbs |
I have two 32" #3 frames that weigh 10 pounds. I have one that weights 9 pounds, 8 ounces. I have a 27" #2 frame ten that weighs about 7 1/4 pounds. All #4 frame hammer guns that I have weighed are just at or under 11 pounds to take advantage of the maximum allowed weight of pigeon guns in the mid 1880s.

Also there was no such thing as a hammerless #4 or #5 frame ? Sorry I see you pretty well answered all this in a post above ! |
That is the way I have found it to be. #6 frame tens, even though you didn't ask, are from 11 to 13 1/2 pounds, in my experience. I probably have one of the bigger ones, a 34" six frame NH ten with wall thickness no less than .100" anywhere and much more toward the breech. I think that is the 13 1/2 pounder.

In my Parker photo archives on my PC I found I already have pics of EH/NH guns on #2 , #3 and #6 frames . Also happened to have pics of a Grade 3 #4 frame gun .
About 2 hours ago it seems that I have finally added a Parker EH #2 to my somewhat modest accumulation . IF it turns out to be as nice as the pics I'll be satisfied . Hopefully I can lay my hands on an EH #3 frame gun soon . |
I have a grade 3 4 frame 10 ga with 32 in barrels. Not sure of the weight but will weigh it today and post. Carvel

Carvel, I assume that is a hammer gun? We would like to hear more about it. #4 frame tens are often built for competitive shooters. Who was the person who ordered yours?
|
Bill, it is a hammer gun, ser. no. 38523, it weighs 10 lbs. 14 ozs. I do not have a letter on it and do not know who ordered it. Carvel
