Thanks for the comments, keep them coming.

Pardon the poor focus, I'm using a manual lens on a DSLR and getting the two to work together can be a challenge.

Truthfully I haven't measured either. I bought the gun as an heirloom/collectible and its fit for shooting wasn't a consideration. I will, however measure those tomorrow and post them here. Those are things I should know about this gun but don't. Thank you for asking.

No, Parker Bros didn't mark the chokes on their guns.

the H simply means hammerless

so for example a DHE is a hammerless D grade with ejectors

Cal, the H represents Hammerless - which is what you have.

Thanks to both of you gentlemen. I figured it stood for hammer or hammerless. I guess mine is actually a DH then, not a D.

Was any (or all) of the engraving on these guns done by hand? I know Greener had their "machine" engraving, what about our Parkers?
