Some measurements:
The shotgun is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I'm looking foreward to having it in my hands for evaluation and cleaning. Stout gun, over 10lbs. I'm very curious to learn the gun's origin, letter sent for. It must certainly be difficult reading those 140 year old ledger books.
Some details from the original listing:
Bore: 10 Gauge
Barrel 30"
Chamber: 2-5/8"
Weight: 10lbs. 2.5oz.
Chokes:
Left Barrel: .030" Light Full
Right Barrel: .020 Modified

LOP: 14"/13-1/8"
The "Parker Story" lists 894 Lifter Action Grade 2 Hammer Guns manufactured with 30" Damascus barrels in 10 Gauge. In comparison, 30” 12 Gauge Grade 2 Damascus guns totaled 1670.
