The lightest Parker Bros. 10-gauge that has come to light, that I know of, is the 1-frame DH-Grade a gent brought to the PGCA Booth during The Vintage Cup at Sandanona a couple different years. Ron Kirby checked the records on the gun and it was a rightious, very light, 10-gauge. The gun was in pretty well used and in rough shape, and lets just say the thoughts on the value of it by the owner and PGCA members present were widely divergent.

Jim Malone had a monster of a standard ten in CH- or CHE-Grade on a big frame with very long barrels but I don't remember the exact specs. I want to say 5-frame and 38-inch, but I may be off on that. Someone who knows will be along.
