We sometimes see a 10 or a 12 stamped in the barrel immediately forward of the barrel flats... could that be what the seller might be mistaking for the unstruck weight stamp?

That was my initial thought , the 8 gauge hammer Parkers ive seen didnt even have 12lb barrels .

A 12lb barrel #3 frame would be extremely unbalanced .

Yup, 4 pounds 12 ounces, ten gauge, three frame, very common combination, very uncommon price. Nice gun.

I couldnt see the 4 in the photos and the seller only lists it as 12 but if I squint my eyes I vaguely see a number beside the 12 . Its not as clear as what is usually there .

There is a similar hammer #3 frame 10 ga on GB with 5 13 on the barrels .
I guess for you to have one break 10lbs youd need the barrels somewhere around 6lbs+ ?

Probably one of the best things about vintage doubles , they are full of mysteries and you always learn something when reading or asking about them .
