Yes, Craig. It is a GH with 36 inch barrels, made in 1911. Weight is 13lbs 1oz.

Mine are mostly G grades

Beautiful stuff right here in this thread!! I can see someone using these photos and specs and writing a Parker Pages article on frame sizes. I see one or two of you guys putting that together. It would be very interesting.

Big 10s
1. Three frame gh with 36" barrels
2. Six frame gh with 34" barrels
3. Three frame dh with 32" barrels

Big beautiful guns Jeff!

I always enjoy holding my 6 frame 10 ga , it needs a brother to go with it but doubt I will ever find one . I wish I knew what the original owners line of thinking was when he placed the order .

Milton, what brother are you searching for?

Going to try and find another larger frame here soon . I got my eye on one right now may put a deposit on it next week if it doesn't sell . 10 gauge Parkers seem to be selling pretty easily this week though from what I've been watching . Or perhaps 1 person bought them all at the same time haha . As well I talked to Aaron Little not long ago , he does great work and said he could make a extra set of barrels for my 6 frame if I wanted to have a set of 8 gauge barrels made for it . Which I think would be cool to have a set of 10 and 8 gauge barrels . My only thing with that is I don't really want to wait that long .

Milton, do you have a letter on your 6 frame?
It may have originally been ordered as an 8.

I don't have a letter myself but have seen the letter from when Craig owned it . It was ordered as a 10 gauge with a desired weight of 12 1/2lbs but finished at 12 3/4lbs if I remember correctly. I think perhaps Mr.Sims the original owner wanted a big gun but also something more versatile than a 8 gauge . He lived near alot of good waterfowling places and his family owned a 1000 acre plantation . So im thinking perhaps he used it for waterfowling and whatever he hunted on the plantation. Thats just my theory however .
