Parker Magnum 10

One sold on the double gun forum, I believe, a couple years ago for $5000

Okay, but were those documented Parker factory 3 1/2" chamber or was a short ten rechambered for magnum shells? Remember that Ithaca introduced the 10 gauge magnum in 1932. Maybe Bill M. can educate us on the first known factory Parker magun?

I have a very high condition PH made in the 1920's with magnum chambers but no factory documentation (on the chambers). It may have been rechambered by Remington, Del Grego who has the original factory tooling, or maybe by a good gunsmith. Documentation would double the gun's value.
