Hi Chris - It's a VH and was built about 1900. It most likely was made to shoot 2 1/2" shells
but can probably digest standard 2 3/4" loads but keep away from any heavy or magnum loads. At about 124 years old and who knows how many various uninformed shooters have owned it and hunted with it I'm pretty sure a lot of 2 3/4" shells have been fired in it.

Incidentally, you won't find a source of more informed Parker gun people than right here on the PGCA website.
