There are more than a few uncommonly heavy Parkers out there. #3 frame 16s, #6 frame 10s and 12s for example. More than a few years ago, I believe it was Littlejohn's Auction that sold a collection containing many extra heavy large frame small bore Parkers. I would be interested in seeing the catalog for that auction. Measure the exact distance between firing pins on the GH. A #1 frame would be 1 1/16" spacing, a #1 1/2 or #2 frame gun would be 1 1/8" spacing.

Default Unusual 16 ga

Gentlemen,
Thank you all for the comments. I am outside Victoria, BC so sorry for late reply but haven't had coffee yet! (7 am)
What is a gun corn Scott?
I will post better pictures this afternoon - first crack at this so please forgive quality of pics (my first post - better to use quick reply or new reply?)
Thank you Bill for the dimension between pins guidance - I will measure and post.
I will also weigh total gun and each pc individual. It is heaviest 16 or 12 shotgun I have ever picked up - very nose heavy.

Greatly appreciate the help!
Cheers JG

PS Is this the right forum for this?

[I am very new to this game and got bit hard by the Parker bug - started with older hammer guns (and first gen 44-40) - still love them but really like narrowing focus to Parker.]

What is right forum for posting pics of other Parkers I have - all beginners quality stuff but not junk - to get a feel for where these guns land, 10%, 20%, 30%, more?

Also need to find a US FFL holder with export permit - that doesn't move at snail's pace - to ship guns to that I buy (hopefully ) and transport to Victoria gun store with import license. Any reccomendations really appreciated.

Currently have guns from the Vegas show, no Parkers, all hammers + 2 beautiful pin fires just couldn't say no to, - said I was new - sitting with a guy for past two months and process-to-clear just starting this week.

Many thanks and all advice greatly appreciated!
