The frame is marked 'N' and has all the patent dates, commensurate with its manufacture date of 1906. The barrels show an unbelievable amount of twist pattern and the bores are free of dents, bulges or pits. the action is goobered up with a hundred years of old oil and dirt. The receiver tangs and stock have been bent to accomodate a right handed shooter that has lost vision in the right eye. It would neat to know if the gun was returned to Parker (or originally ordered) for the modification. With the 3-1/2" DAH, the gun comes up and I am looking straight down the rib without moving my head. It will take some getting used to, but should not be an issue for the occasional 'nostalgia hunt'. It got me into a late model hammerless 10 for a song. I will post some photos soon. Cheers!

Interesting...This is a late gun for the N Grade designation. Could this be the latest N Grade found? Could be a great addition to "Parkers Found"

How 'bout those barrels! The pattern is vivid from the breech clear to the muzzles. Unstruck weight is 5 and 13. Here are two more photos....

Why do I think I've seen this gun before? Mark I would get a letter on this gun. It could prove interesting.

No question, the gun was made the way it is by Parker Bros. If a letter is available, it will confirm this fact.

Dave, if you have been checking out John Puglisi's website, you would have seen the gun there. He had it for a spell at $3895.00 and marked it down to $1750.00. It will be a nice companion to my 1886 Grade 1(I) 10 gauge hammer gun! I really was interested in the NH 10 built on a 6 frame, but my budget was not about to allow that.
Bill, I will certainly request a letter!
