Your 12 may be a 1/2 indicating a 1/2 frame, correct in later serial ranges. We need to see pictures.

For starters measure your center to center of your firing pins on the frame and report back

Here is a typical 1925 vintage 12-gauge VH -- 215139 01 VH-Grade, 12-gauge, V in circle barrel steel.jpg in this case a 1 1/2 frame. Can't explain why there is no frame-size stamp on your barrel lug. |

Unless it is so faintly stamped that it is not showing up in the photo, it looks like it may have not been stamped. Which is out of the ordinary.
You will have to take measurements of various areas of the frame to verify the size. 3 lbs 9 oz is a lighter barrel set. So i would think 1 or 1-1/2 size.

Just measured: the pin to pin is 1-1/8".
The butt stock on the gun has a different serial from the barrels and frame, and is much earlier: 145656. It has non-cut 26" barrels (there's an obvious break in the rib waves) and was obviously exceptionally well loved/used. Given the C/M chokes, and relative light weight, I think this was someones rainy day grouse gun, which is exactly what I intent to use it for. |

In a 26" gun, I am not surprised by the cyl/mod chokes. I have 2 26' Parkers, a 16 and a 20, and both choked cyl/mod, and supported by factory letters. Great grouse chokes indeed.
