Wow Bill, that's quite a find! My guess would be that the gun is gone if the forends are still on the barrels, but it would be neat to put them back together.

Bill: Well this is about as exciting as Google can get
Here you go CLICK Scroll down to question 18 on the page Paul Ludwig Says: November 22nd, 2011 at 8:47 pm I have a Parker Bros 12 gauge double barrel shotgun. Serial NO. 86988. Manufactured 1889. What is the value? I want to sell. Hope that's it and you can buy it or find who did. November 22, 2011 is not that long ago. Good luck Jack

I am on it like a Wirehair on a black squirrel. If I succeed in contacting this guy, I will erect a memorial to you at the next PGCA annual meeting. This is my longest term Parker search, probably 25 years at the least. I not only have the barrels and the forends, I have the original (lettered) Parker Brothers #38 case for this gun. Stay tuned.

No memorial needed. One day, I may show up and be happy just to shoot it - preferably obtaining edible protein as a result. Good luck.
Jack
