From over sixty years of observation, I only recall seeing one righteous Parker 12-gauge 3-inch gun from the days of progressive burning powder, high velocity, loads. It was Remington era CHE with the grade, gauge and chamber length on the left side of the barrel lug. It was at Randy Shuman's back in the years the shop was on the back of his house. My gut feeling is that there were a lot more Parker Bros. 12-gauge guns ordered with 3-inch chambers from the 1890s to WW-I than were after.
