Gary,

I just buy the good ones when I can! Of course I heed George Washington's parting advice to his officers, "Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company.", such as you and my Parker mentor, Eric. There are of course others whom I am thankful to such as Brad, Kurt, Eric, Paul H. and probably a few more whom I'm forgetting in this early morning ramble...

Mark

So only five 3 frame 12's among the active posters? Seems low, are they that uncommon? I have seen only 6 or so for sale over the last 5 or 6 years.

I am aware of four others.
Two VH each 32" (they were both for sale thru Ivory beads a few years ago. I think one of those is for sae wiht another dealer now may be Steve Barnett but I am not positive)
Two DH's.
One 32" damascus that resides in Northern VA as of three years ago.
One 28 " unknown where abouts.

I have shot one of the 32" VH's and she is one hell of a shooting iron.

#3 frame guns are very cool.

PS:
I do remember seeing a #3 framel 36" 12 VH about two or three years ago at the Spring Southern

George Lander had a high condition 3 frame VH for sale a couple of years ago and I recall seeing a 3 frame D grade on Safari Outfitters a couple of years ago too. I remember the Ivory Bead guns as well.

This has me more excited about my DH 10 project and also glad I jumped on the set of 12 gauge barrels for it.

A 30" DH was sold in 2011 on Gunbroker by an individual in Washington State. A 28" flat-rib DH was also sold on Gunbroker in 2012. That was a very cool gun.

Pete, there are actually Parker records that record frame sizes. Stock books in certain eras list frame sizes. Also some order book entries specify the "2 1/2" frame, which is the #3 frame.

Bill were you able to get any sense of % or production of 12ga on 3 frame from those records?
