EH weight difference .
 

I am curiouse I've seen several EH guns on #2 frames with 30" barrels that were in the 8 1/2 pound range and some #3 guns that were 10ish with 32" pipes . So what area should 32" guns on #4 and #5 frames be approx ? I am only interested in weights of the 10's . Well at the moment .

I have owned one 4 frame 10g hammer gun with 32" barrels. It weighed 10.5 lbs if I remember correctly.

I've never heard of an EHE. Did they make them???

Ejectors were introduced in 1901. And the NH and EH grades were dropped by the time the 1907 Pine Cone catalog came out. So, I am sure that some were made with ejectors in that 6 year period.

I have seen a later GHE in 10g. But that is as close as that gets.

The only thing that was dropped was the EH and NH letter designation of the 10 and 8 ga. Grade 1 and Grade 2 guns. The guns themselves were still being made and Parker Bros. simplified things by using the simpler designation letters of PH and GH. with 10 and 8 Ga. barrels.

But they did make 8g guns with the PH designation as early as prior to 1907. I know of a couple specifically made in 1899.

Yup - there are exceptions to every rule. We find a lot of exceptions with Parker shotguns.

So back to my original question what were the average weights for NH-EH in ,

#2 frame 30"

#3 frame 32"

#4 frame 32"

#5 frame 32"

Actually I think the Parker company is no different then say Marlin or Winchester in the same time period !

William Brophy's book on Marlin has many many many contradictions etc after one has collected/accumulated Marlin guns . My friends that get hung up on Wrenchesters say the same thing with some of the printed matter on there choosen brand .

NHE EHE
 

Greg and Brian, I did not see any ejector equipped grade 1 or 2 10 ga. guns listed in the serialization book between serial #108000 and 140000. There were 10ga. ejector equipped guns listed in Grade 3 and above in this same group. Of course there are many SNs missing from this book and what information is available in the order books may be another matter. HTH.
