I inherited my Great Grandfathers 16 GA. Parker Side-By-Side and I'm searching for a Butt Plate. In doing so....I'm trying to identify the year made, model and quality grade. Really.....I want to find out everything I can about this model in addition to finding an original replacement Butt Plate The number on the trigger guard is 160410. The only other markings/stampings on the gun are <OV> ad JG. The gun is in excellent condition, original bluing, stock and typcial of a farmers gun. Well worn and in excellent firing order. Interesting thing about this gun is that when you fire a standard Dove load, the barrels "ring". This gun has never been refinished...just used. I'm also curious about recommendations/warnings regarding refinishing/restoration. Please help me with your expertise......Thanks for your help and Happy New Year!....Chris
