PHE 10ga 36"

[CaptJohn]

I'm looking for specialized advice on the desirability of PHE 10ga 3 frame 36" Parker Steel barrels, letters as such, little used. I'd appreciate the comments of those who collect and use the big guns.

That is a rather rare gun. The Parker Story does not show a P 10 with 36" barrels.
It was probably in one of the missing books.

Jeff's statement as "rather rare" is an understatement ! I can speak as a former PHE 28 bore , 24" original barrel length ,2 frame as maybe the only .

Your PHE ,10 bore , 3 FRAME, 34" barrels might be the only. Missing books? Can not be proved either way.

Is this the same 36” 10 gauge that was in the Auction held at Cliff Schuler auctions in Florida about 6 or so weeks ago ?

A rare PHE 10ga with a vent rib just sold on this site with an asking price of 9750.
I purchased a very nice CH 10ga 34" (one of 3 I believe) for half the price of the PHE. I bought a D hammer gun 10ga 36 inch (1 of 3) for less than 5k.
I would say plenty of interest in a PHE 10/36 from big gun collectors. Condition will be the most significant factor, my guess is a 3K premium over a 10ga PHE 10/32 gun of equal condition. Just my guess.

To Craig - yes
