6-Frame Trivia

[B. Dudley]

The 8g was an adder.
But I would not be sure about the few 6 frame 10g guns that were built.

I don’t understand the term “adder” - can you explain it please?

A price adder. Premium.

The PH-Grade was for many years the $65 list price gun in 12-gauge and smaller. In 10-gauge it was the NH-Grade and listed at $70. The catalogs state that AH- to PH-grades could be had in 8-gauge for $35 above 10-gauge list.

By no means am I trying to knock the NH/PH as I have both in 10 gauge 3 frames however for some reason I've always liked the VH and EH/GH guns more . I suppose because when I was a good bit younger all the Parker guns I ever saw were VH and later in life when I started acquiring more the EH/GH was the first I owned with animal engraving so to speak .

Thats interesting , my NH is a 10 gauge but its on a #6 frame the price was still $70 so the larger frame sized didnt add to the cost . I suppose the extra $35 for a 8 gauge was from the cost of the barrels . Then again you would think #6 frame 10 gauge barrels would have cost more to make than #3 frame 10 gauge barrels .

So a PH 8 gauge would be $100 or the same price as a smaller gauge DH from the looks of it ?
