1. The Charles Parker Co of NY was the retail store for Parker Bros. in NYC. 2. I'm sure they did but mostly in the lower grades. 3. Most 12ga. guns weighed in the 7 to 8 pound range. We don't know the choking on this gun but since it wasn't specified in the order, it was probably full/full or modified/full and could have been used for hunting. Both Damascus and Fluid steel were available. The customer evidently wanted Damascus. 3. Don't know but a D grade Parker wasn't cheep in 1902.
