Given Powellton WV is a rather small town this could very well be the grave of the original owner.

My hope is to get a duck and a gobbler with this gun. What type of loads would be acceptable to shoot in a gun of this type? I know steel shot is out, so what have others used in guns of this type?

I use #6 shot in standard 2 3/4” loads with my 1898 DH twelve gauge that has 2 9/16” chambers choked F/F for turkey hunting.

3 frame 12 gauges are great underrated Parkers

My gun was a basket case when I got it 17 years ago and at the time I thought a 3 frame 32" 12ga would be a dandy salt water fowler. I had it Delgrego'd to bring it back to life. My plan to use it as my go to duck gun was derailed less than a year after getting it back when I got my first Short 10 and the 3 frame 12 went to the back of rack. It also weighs 9 pounds and it's choked .036 in both barrels. I should take it hunting again.

3 frame parkers make excellent duck guns. They are very similar in size and weight to Fox HE's but are not overbored. I shoot Boss 1 1/4oz Bismuth in mine without any hesitation.
