Damascus GH?
 

Looking at a 12ga GH 30" damascus.What would the chamber length be on this,made in 1900? https://i.postimg.cc/yd2hctWS/screen...1293469237.png

The chamber length should be what it is listed at.

2 1/2" or 2 5/8" most likely when it was made. Now, anybody's guess.

Thanks, I'll get measurements and better picture's tomorrow.

I like the gun already.

The barrels are Parker D4 4 Iron "Turkish"; usually found on D grades.

Could be 2 9/16”
I have a DH 12 from 1898 with 2 9/16” chambers. I shoot 2 3/4” ammo all the time in it. It is made on a 2-frame.

I have a 1901 Gh that measured 2 5/8 today by Bill Schwartz using a chamber gauge.

How are they usually choked? I assume the barrel's are not marked.

On the lower grades destined for hardware stores 12 ga. Parkers with 28” barrels were normally choked Mod and Full unless otherwise requested and 30” barrels or longer were normally choked Full and Full, again unless otherwise requested. 26” barrels were normally choked Cylinder and Mod…
