I too have the same questions about an 1891 Parker Brothers shotgun. It recently fell into my lap and is in worse shape than the one above. I know absolutely nothing about Parker guns, but from the few days I've had to clean the gun and research I found:
Serial number 68545
Laminated steel 28"barrels
Grade 1 (?)
It is missing a hammer and the latch is fairly loose.
I'm not even sure what gauge it is. It has a 2 stamped on it which is a frame used for 10, 12, or 20 gauges. Since a nickel will not fit down the barrel, but a dime will, my father believes it to be a 12 gauge. Please provide any information, or correct any of my assumptions. Thank you!
