Dollar grade #2 frame hammer top lever with original length 28" tubes. A very "brown" gun. Before daylight the morning this was taken the gun went to the bottom of the shallow playa lake. I grubbed around and found it covered with mud and waterlogged. Shook it out, put a couple shells in and went about my business. Great fun!

Joe, that grade 2 is fabulous! The Grade 3 looks pretty doggone nice too.

The Grade 3 looks to be Damascus too... is it?

Dean, they're all damascus (I don't trust fluid steel). The DH and EH are in high original condition. The EH was shipped from the factory on December 26, 1888. I did have the barrels on the EH refinished. But the wood and action are factory original.

Me too: I Have some.

Some...... :rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf:

Here is gen3 this evening claiming ownership to my Parker 10 as he tests it out...... Please add 1 more to the Parker 10ga shooter count here in my world.

Joe,

Your post with the photos was the best single post I've seen in any thread! Those outstanding photos and very clear and concise information tell a wonderful story.

Respectfully,

Count me in. EH (1893). Deadly on clays, doves, and quail.

Counting 40 of us short ten shooters so far.

Better add me to the list before the gun sells. Thomas
