I had two #1 frame 12 gauge GH Parkers from 1893 within 60 or so serial numbers of one another. Kevin Kelley purchased the best one. I have a PH with Twist barrels and a set of DH Damascus barrels that fit it. Nice little 7 pound guns.

Austin, Was always of the opinion that the 1 frame 12 gauge was the standard gun. 2 frames and up were for heavier guns.

Right Dave - In the days of the exposed hammer Parkers the 1-frame 12 bore was the standard but the 2-frame was ordered by those who shot waterfowl and at pigeon and clays games for a purse of prize. This practice generally carried into the hammerless era until just before the turn of the century when the 1 1/2-frame was introduced.

I bet that is a light 12 with 3lb 10 oz barrels. I had a 1 frame 3 dog at one time that was 6lbs 12 oz...man those barrels flew.

7 pounds even, fits very well and feels alive in your hands. I was hooked as soon as i mounted the gun. It came from the estate of a fellow club member who was what i call a gun hoarder, would buy anything with no clear purpose just to have it. There were 6 Parkers, this being the only one of good condition.
