You need to get a letter on that one. There's a chance that the chambers were extended and the gunsmith marked it as such. Is it a #2or #3 frame gun? Nice find. I have a GH from 1893 with 3" chambers and I've always assumed the chambers were let out because the Parker records do not mention it.

Frame
It is a 2 frame. The letter form and check are completed and will go in the mail Monday. Will the letter state how the butt was finished (recoil pad)? The colors seem too good so I think they were redone some time ago. And the stock was broke and repaired (not too good). It was bought accordingly. I will see about pictures soon.

You will learn more from posting pictures here than from the letter. The letter, if it is derived from order book information, would tell you the original butt treatment and maybe the chamber length. It is extremely unlikely that the 3" markings originated at the factory.

For your consideration , the following are original Parker case colors.
Sometimes owners would want the original skeleton steel butt plate changed to a recoil pad and Parker would change it to what you see in the final photo. Enjoy your new gun. |

Post a picture of the bottom of the barrels from the breech to the forend lug. The gun is a bit early for an original beavertail forend. We need to see whether the gun has a "beavertail lug". If the "beavertail lug" were present, that would lead us to suspect a possible factory conversion. The colors would lead us elsewhere. What does the face of the recoil pad say?

Lug pictures
Here are pictures of the lug. Are there opinions regarding the 3" chambers? The pad is a Pachmayr.
