My first Parker was/is a DH 12 that my wife forced me to buy after I dragged her a 100 miles to a hunting camp auction up near the St. Lawrence river. I have written about the gun twice in the old Parker Pages. A pretty standard D in superb condition--12 gauge, 30" bbls, and a 2 frame. Besides the condition, the neat things about the gun were the original hang tag, the Parker (1916) catalog the owner used to order the gun, and the 6 tiny notches on the edge of the skeleton butt plate. Always wondered what the notches were for.
