That is an excellent example of an extremely early front-action lifter with an extremely rare trigger guard. There is an example of that trigger guard on a Parker in the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, WY. I have a picture of it somewhere in my archives.
Someone also posted a picture of one here on the forum a couple of years ago.
I love that gun. What gauge? What barrel length?
