Bruce,
The top picture shows a set of D3 barrels(#2 frame) that were the 2nd set of a DH 2 barrel set from 1902. I had them fitted to my 1901 GH. That set of barrels cost me $40.50 including shipping . I got them off of EBAY several years ago. The top rib has the name O.L.Norsworthy Houston,Texas engraved in front of Parker Bros. I googled his name and found out he was a doctor in Houston at the turn of the century. The factory letter said the gun was ordered for Charles and Theo Berwig of Houston,TX so I surmise they gave it to Dr. Norsworthy. This 28" set of barrels were patterned RH 125 and LH 225 #7 pellets in a 30" circle at 40 yards. I wish I knew how much shot was customary in patterning 12 gauge guns (1 1/8?). I have shot many doves with this set of barrels and have shot 100 straight skeet targets.
Dale did an excellent job and this is my favorite Parker.
