tommy more than likely its like wayne said a beligum gun..the belgum folks would use a name close to a brand name gun as a marketing ploy..it musta worked they sold thousands and thousands of these old guns..heh some of them are quite well made most though would wear out quickly and become really loose versus a gun like parker brothers could be shot a lot and still be a tight gun...there is a lot of guns like youre s with the parker name on it....charlie

Tommy: The proof mark that Wayne & Charlie described stand for Liege, Belgium where most of what we call JABC (Just Another Belgium Clunker) were made and proofed. Hang it on the wall and get yourself a real Parker Bros. WELCOME TO PGCA!

Although it is not a Parker Brothers it dose appear to be well mad and IMHO a nice gun. I would be very interested in pictures of the proof marks.

don't forget there was also a British maker named Parker.
those look like fairly common style Birmingham hammers clear pictures of the proof marks are needed to tell

Yeah, that European "Parker" is a cut above the usual wall hanger quality guns that pop up with the Parker name often.
As others have said, this gun has absolutely no connection to Parker Brothers of Meriden, CT.

It appears to be a well fitted European gun that deserves a second look before hanging it above the fireplace.
