The eight in question is a pretty nice gun.

Jent,
I have no idea what this Parker 8 gauge is but I own a number of EH 10's and at least one GH Parker 10 gauge which was made in 1895. Mark |

If it is a 5 frame, it is rare. I doubt that it is a 5 frame.

If I recall my conversation with JD correctly on Saturday, I 'm pretty sure he said it was a #5 frame. I could be mistaken and it certainly could be a #6. Barrels are for sure 36" He offered to let me take it down, but as I was not seriously interested as a buyer, I declined. I should have just for the educational benefit. As for it being a GH or EH I do not know which, as these large frame, large bore Parkers are new to me. The engraving certainly resembled G grade. I believe the price is around 15K if anyone is interested. Don't think JD does very much on the internet or forums.

I have made it a project over the years of Parker collecting to keep track of most of the 8 gauges I came across. I have only ever seen and handled one 5 framed 8. It is serial #11672 and the last I knew, resided in a New England collection. I would have to say that 5 framed 8s are extremely rare.
