Calvin it does say Parker on the hammerplate. The number 183 is actually located under the forestock. One other thing I noticed is that the buttplate has what appears to be a quail on it and not a dog like most that I have seen. The gun is in rough shape but I would love to know a little more about it. Thanks for your input.

Welcome Alan - If you can post a few photos: side plates, water table, barrel flats, top rib, etc there are many experts here that will help you evaluate your gun. Without them it is tough to opine on what you might have.

Alan, compliments on your photographic skills - a very nice job.
Unfortunately that is not a Parker Bros. gun that we are all about. I don't have the expertise to comment on where it may have been made other than to say it is European. |

Thank You Dean for the information. I am still interested in information anyone could give me concerning the gun and its origin. I also understand this may not be the forum to find that information but would appreciate any additional input. Thanks All

Alan ,It is a shame it is not a " Parker Brothers " gun ,but I must say , I really like the butt plate ! A friend of mine showed up at my place last evening with a Forehand Double barrel ,that had a really nice Butt finish with a Wooded scene with a big Squirrel sitting on a limb , very nice . Russ
