Need help researching 16 GH 34" barrels

[John Gardner]

Hello all,
My friend has an odd ball 16 gauge with no listing for letter records for serial number 188951.

It is a 16 ga GH, with no engraving, Parker Bros name starts behind the back side screws, Parker Special Steel barrels 34" Wt. 6.6, has 16 where frame size is usually marked, he thinks it is a '2' frame but not marked as such.

Other markings on barrels are HT over A, JG in oval, K, 6.6 (tops out close to 14 pounds), Dog butt plate.

I will try to get some pictures posted.

Greatly appreciate any information.
Cheers JG

That is weird for sure. The engraving that is there is very odd.
Some more pictures please?

Jay,
He could measure the distance between the firing pins to determine the frame size but it almost looks like a 1 stamped on the barrel lug next to the 16. That is a very interesting gun thanks for showing it.

Larry that was what I was thinking too, it looks like a number 1 on the lug. I remember Jack Puglisi had a D (12 ga I think) that was only engraved on the right side so it did happen. Eric

How can #1 frame 16 gauge barrels weigh 6.6 lbs? And 14 lbs altogether? It just does not seem right.

[Smoothebore]

Awfully heavy for a 1, even heavy for a 2. Please measure between centerline of pins.

And there is that "K" again on the lug. Interesting gun...we need more pictures please.

That is a very interesting and unique gun. The owner should be proud.

Where is Eightbore? How much do the barrels of your 3 frame 16 weigh Bill?
