I have inherited a Parker 12 guage shotgun but I cannot identify what model or age of gun. I am attaching some pictures of the gun and I drew some pictures of the markings on the gun when I disassemble it.

Unfortunately, your gun is not a Parker Bros. shotgun. It is probably a hardware store gun or a foreign made gun. It was probably made in the late 1800's.

the drawings show Belgium proof marks

so neither an American Parker Bros. nor a Birmingham England Parker

i would relegate that to the wall hanger category

It looks like it has had the quality tightening job done with a punch. That should hold up for a few more rounds. .

Thanks for replying - So gun is not worth much to collectors then. Just a family heirloom I guess?
