Default Damascus Barrel

Can anyone help me identify this 12ga? I can’t find the serial number on this shotgun my grandfather gave me. Any advice on were to look for that would be appreciated.

It pains me to let you know that that your gun is an inexpensive Belgian gun, and not a Meridan Parker.

I believe it's a T. Barker, but it's confusing
Some discussion here

As a family heirloom it is of course invaluable, but was not of high quality when new and after cleaning the gun it should be hung in a place of honor in your home. You might also consider removing the firing pins.

Look at the gap at the breech face, way off face. Nice looking gun however. Aiways wonder how many shots it takes to get a gun off face like that

Or how poor the metal quality on the lug and hinge pin was.
