New user/ Trying to ID a Parker Bro. SXS 12 Guage
"Special Notice: On the early lifters, the serial number is on the water table, the forend iron, the trigger guard and the side of the barrel lug. The number on the barrel flats is the Order Number, not the serial number."
I copied the above off this site. Just bought a PB side by side in a 12 gauge with external hammers.
The gun was made in 1880
The serial numbers on the barrel lug, the trigger guard and the forend arm are all the same.
However, the number on the water table is different. There is no "grade" marking on the water table. Only a 5 digit number and a pat. date 03/16/1875
On the barrel flat there is #"46", the letter "T" and the Pat. date 4/11/1876
The # on the barrel lug is "02".
Can anyone help me understand all these numbers?
This is my first time on this site. Thanks in advance for your help
