Extremely light, extremely rare, and probably built against the recommendations of Parker Brothers. Chuck, can you let us see the order for this unusual gun? #71767.

This weekend, I added one that Charlie would like. A nice little NH 32" ten on a #6 frame, barrels marked 8 pounds 1 ounce. I haven't weighed her yet, but I expect in excess of 13 pounds. Chambers are 3 1/2". My PGCA letter may indicate that the gun is a rebarrel with factory 3 1/2" chambers.

Sounds like a nice piece of artillery Bill

The gun has 3 1/2" chambers with damascus barrels ?

Not Damascus, but Twist Steel. If the gun was rebarrelled at Parker Brothers after the advent of 3 1/2" ten gauge shells, the gun could be factory chambered for them. Dave Noreen can tell us what the date of introduction for 3 1/2" ten ammunition, and maybe the PGCA letter will shed some light on a possible rebarrel from eight gauge. Some eight gauge Parkers were rebarrelled to ten gauge, and maybe twelve gauge after eight gauge guns were outlawed for waterfowl. I have one of those in my collection, and maybe now I have two.
