The Short Ten - How many shooting one?

Pete- here is the letter. I just learned to attach stuff so hopefully it works.

The barrels are now 25 or 26 inches long so 2 or 3 inches were removed. Front sight is nicely in place so it looks like a professional (Parker?) job.
wouldnt some of the barrels HAVE to be removed to go from 12 gauge to 10 gauge?

Thanks for sharing. The gun is a Grade 2, a GH rather than a Grade 1 or PH as stated earlier, (Dam vs. Twist). It would still be interesting to learn of the bore ID and barrel wall thickness after the rechambering to 10ga. Two dollars went a long way back then! I wonder if the gun was severely pitted and rather than overbore a 12 they made it a 10???

My bad on the grade. I have called it a PH ever since DelGrego called it a PH 12 in 1991[I can show you the letter!!]. The receiver is so dark with corrosion the engraving is hard to make out.
It is a 2 frame. Damascus markings. Can't see any patterns at all.
Now that i have learned, I will post some photos.
