The EH is really in great shape for its age and has unique engraving. 32 inch barrels on a 3 frame. Massive gun.

As I told you earlier I talked with the guy you got the EH from earlier . The place Parker Brothers is engraved on the action intrigued me . He sent me pics of the water table and the underside of the barrels on the chamber end and the weight was 6 pounds 3 ounces if my memory serves . I went back later and checked the weights on my 3 frame EH and NH both are 32" and neither weighed 6 pounds . I'm tentatively planning to be at the shoot on Friday if you bring that EH I'd love to look it over .

I bought a circa 1891 EH on a 2 frame with factory 28" barrels from an auction in MA or Conn can't remember which . Sent in an absentee bid and watched the auction on my PC while in a hotel in Manila . My gunsmith buddy took care of payment for me as I'd left funds for him in case I won the auction . I didn't see the gun for almost four weeks after I got it . Wasn't perfect by any means but I'm pleased with what I got !

Other then the Parker the only other thing I've gotten since mid February was a NIB Kimber 1911 Custom II 2 tone in 45 ACP bought it last Friday and had it in hand Monday .

Plan on trying the EH at skeet later today (it is past midnight as I type this) . By the letter the guns choked cylinder and CLOSE which I assume means cyl/IC . Plan on using that 19 grains Red Dot and 1 1/8 ounce shot load .

The barrels on the 10 gauge are positively massive. Mwt 45 just behind the chokes. 50 at the choke
