Default Parker Hammer Double Barrell Shotgun

Any information on this shotgun would be appreciated. I have been all over the internet and gun books and can not find out how old or what is is worth.

I am attaching photos.

Thanks for anything you can provide.

Apparently there were many guns made in Belgium marked Parker for the American market. This appears to be one. David

David, those are Birmingham proof marks on the barrel flats and watertable, so its British made. There were several Parkers making guns in Birmingham and the provinces during that time period. Is there any address on the top rib?

The gun therefore may be of better quality than the Belgium clunkers? David
