this is my opinion...in the first years of britch loading guns the 12 ga used a standard of 1 ounce in their paper shells..the 10 ga load was 1 1/8 ounce... about the 1920 era 12 ga began to use 1 1/8 ounce in the field load and is still standard today..this was pretty much the standards for all shell makers..so ROBIN i think you could on the average base your findings on what parker used to shoot in the guns patterning them across the board...my opinion they used the 1 ounce load in the early gun before 1920 and the 1 1/8 load from 1920 and on till they closed....we will never knoiw what each individual shell was used in each parker gun. i would like to know what they patterened the old silent auction 8 ga with... hope this can help if not its just my opinion.... charlie
