With all those differences and obvious unique parts, were 6 frame guns more expensive? One would think so.

I seen a Parker catalog from 1912 IIRC that lists the DH grade 8 gauge as $35 more than the 10,12, etc which according to a inflation calculator would be around $912 difference today . However ive heard 1 day of good waterfowling could make as much as 10 days wage as your average worker so the price difference may have been negligible to a professional waterfowler ? Theres probably alot of caveats to that however and alot of variables I would think .

Though if you were waterfowling for a living and you just needed a big gun for the job a grade 1 or 0 would have been cheaper .
