You can usually determine the "choke" of a Parker by the number of pellets of a prescribed size within the circle at a given yardage.

For instance, 220 pellets of number 7 chilled in a 24-inch circle at forty-five yards would probably be full choke in a 12-gauge gun.

The tag shown however, is for a gun that would probably have been patterned at forty yards in a thirty-inch circle.
