Book says they should be 30" barrels. Tell whomever gave you that great appraisal to send me all his junk. I think you have a great piece and I love the Leg-O-Mutton case too.

Scott - the barrels are 30" measured end to end with the action broke open. The weight is in the 6 lb range. (give or take a few ounces)
A couple of more pics. Thanks for the comments, The same appraiser really tore down my Winchester 1892 (a Real Fine Gun ) 32-20 caliber and two Colt SA's in the same . Perhaps he thought I was looking to sell them cheap beings I was in Las Vegas. |

A PGCA letter may tell you whether the gun originally came from Shoverling Daly and Gales, as is marked on your case. An NH grade with six pound barrels is a great gun to shoot and going through a phase of popularity right now. The bad screws and damaged trigger plate are not a fatal flaw, can be repaired by a talented gunsmith, as can the wood damage. In addition, your serial number is a "palindrome", something only strange people find interesting. I have palindrome guns that I find interesting, like my Model 42 Winchester Skeet Grade #787. They are not easy to find.

My 3-frame NH-Grade 10-gauge is a year newer and doesn't have a "fishtail" top-lever. My barrels are weight stamped 5 9.

Looks like an interesting mismatch on the twist pattern between barrels, unless it's just the lighting. Nice gun. Great old case.

Richard- The barrels definitely have a "mismatch" pattern, kinda like a beauty mark !
Ok fellas, as I stated in my introductory I know nothing of Parker's or any Shotguns. Are the barrels to be weighed by themselves ? Or is the weight of the complete gun ? I weighed the whole thing . |

A 6 lb 10 guage would have to be quite rare, right Bill ?
