Default Hi, and HELP?

Probably don't belong here, because I don't collect Parkers. But I own ONE and I can't find answers about it anywhere else. I just want to find out WHAT it is. No, it's not the Parker you guys love so much, it's not even a recognized reproduction as far as I can tell. From the info that I can find, it should be a Parker 1928 DH 12ga, 1 1/2 frame with 28" Titanic steel barrels with a 3 9 bbl weight. I know preserved, and I know new. This is a relatively NEW gun, far from the 1928 the serial number would indicate. The top of the rib says "Parker Bros. Makers, Meridian CT. U.S.A Titanic Steel" in a single line. The stock is a beautiful tigertail walnut, no standard butt plate, but with a wooden butt plate,3/4" thick, single select trigger (nickel or silver), silver oval medallion inset in stock. Inside of the barrels look like they could have been cut and polished yesterday.
I've done research, and I can't get a clue where this gun came from. The only thing that Parker Bros Makers brings up is a repro company that custom makes O/U's. I did mention that this is a sXs?
Bought this from a guy on a street corner, out of breath. So no help there. It's a piece of art, in it's own right, but anybody here can give me a hint as to what I have?
