And Parker Bros. produced guns with Laminated Steel barrels right into the mid-1890's and maybe a scant few even after that.

Well, I'm told the first 1000 guns have no serial number. I assumed they made at least 1000 guns the first year. I was also advised that production didn't start until 1867.

Without pictures of the water table and barrel flats and sides of the barrel lug we really can't advise you about the your gun.

And the first 1,000 Parker shotguns did, in fact, have serial numbers stamped on the water table and on the side of the barrel lug, among other locations.
