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

[QUOTE=Richard Flanders;230570]I'm assuming he's thinking the patent date indicates the year it was made.[/QUOTEN/////No, I was told that production didn't start until 1867 and the first 1000 didn't have a serial number.

no number on the trigger guard or the underside of the forend or the flat of the action?
on the barrels - is there a number on the side of the lug?

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. .
