Some people should not be allowed to own Parkers.
I've been looking for a D grade hammerless 10 gauge and this makes one less available.

George, I am lucky. My D Grade ten was a #3 frame 12 before it was sleeved at Lefever to a 3 1/2" ten gauge. I guess that evens things out.

I wonder what the Gold "I" is for on it. Maybe it is a "1".

Are there maybe multiples of these out there?
