Eight bore Parkers

[B. Dudley]

Largest i have seen is the 7 frame. Most common size an 8 will be on is the 6. The heaviest weights i have encountered, in the few i have seen, were in the 16 to 17 lb. range.

My DH Grade, the only 30" eight in the PGCA research files, weighs just over ten pounds. I would assume it is the lightest original eight out there. Hammerless eights were made on the #6 frame, top lever hammer eights were made on #7 frames. There is the occasional #5 frame, but I think they were all early lifters.
