Do you know if they come in other grades?

Anything the customer wanted and was willing to pay for the Brothers P. would build. While 3-frames are the most common for 10-gauges, the 2-frame 10-gauges are not uncommon. Probably pretty scarce in the beautiful gun Bruce showed us!! Very nice!!
We know of at least one very light 10-gauge DH-Grade built on a 1-frame. It was at our PGCA booth at The Vintage Cup at Sandanona a couple of different years. |

I have a #2 Frame Parker EH 10 gauge which weighs 9 lbs 3 oz.
I also have a #2 Frame Parker DH 10 gauge which weighs 8 lbs 2 oz. I consider a light 10 gauge to weigh not much over 8 lbs. There is a big difference carrying a 9 pound gun in the field as compared to an 8 pound gun! A #2 frame 10 gauge doesn't always mean it is a light gun.

You're right about that. #2 frame tens can be big guns. All Parker tens have character whether they are light or heavy. I have them from 7 1/2 to 13 1/2 and am looking for more. I think they are the most undercollected Parkers.

I've seen a 10 gauge and a 2 frame in decent shape, with frosted bores. I've been thinking about picking it up from a gun show.

There was a gun labeled as a "light 10" at the Michigan Antique Arms Show a few weeks ago.

The EH 28" ten I recently traded away was under 8 pounds, fairly open chokes as I recall. #2 frame. My 27" DH weighs exactly 7 pounds, 8 ounces, factory ordered with backwards chokes, cylinder in the left barrel. Also a #2 frame.
