.410 Parkers

Thanks Dave -

I wonder if we can presume that instead of a pellet count where only full & full are written along with the fact that 3/8 oz. loads were used, that 100% of the pellets fell within the pattern circle?

From the 23 various hang-tags I've collected pictures of, up through 223605 they have actual pellet counts. From 232902 on up they show the choke.

Is it safe to presume they are other gauges besides the .410’s?

There are only three in addition to the .410-bore tag, 232902 a 12-gauge 2 5/8 inch Mod. & Full, 236030 a 20-gauge 2 3/4 inch Imp. Cyl. & Mod. and 240647 a 12-gauge 2 3/4 inch Mod. & Full.

I see the same thing on A.H. Fox hang-tags. Early tag have pellet counts and about WW-I they go to Full, Mod, Imp. Cyl. or Cyl.
