The chamber walls on that gun made it the scariest Parker I have ever seen. My #2 frame 27" ten DH weighs 7 pounds 4 ounces. Tens on the #4 frame were all hammer guns in my experience. #6 frame hammerless tens are very scarce, but not unique by any means. I have one in fluid steel that was rebarreled at Parker Brothers when the original 8 gauge barrels were declared illegal for migratory birds.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but how much would a 10 ga on a #6 frame go for ?
this is the 10lb 3/4 10 gauge I was talking about

I was thinking maybe its a #4 frame but I guess that barrel weights different from gun to gun and this could just be a heavy barrel #3 ?
the 10 ga #6 frame I seen on here I swore was a hammer gun ?
I would think with modern steel you could safely build a 10 ga on such a small frame ? like the #1 you mentioned . I know nothing about how fluid steel from that era compares to whats used these days .
Im going to be in the price range of around 5,000$ when I get ready to buy my next sxs and im looking at 10s and 3 8 gauges I found for sale .
If its a 10 I would like to find one thats different like the ones built on larger frames or longer barrels if I can find one in that 5k price range .
I want to get my first parkers but If i find a long barrel 8 gauge double than I will end up with that . Which I have recently found one 36" tubes for 5100$ .
I love 32" barrels on my 10s but my dream gun is a 36" sxs 8 gauge .
Also Ive read that parker made a #5 and #7 frame size what are these guns ? I tried to google them but couldnt find anything .
