1887 year would suggest a Hammer gun. And Twist barrels is what was used on all lower Grade Parker hammer guns as well as all the P grade hammerless guns.
Not sure of actual production numbers of twist steel barrels, but they were by no means rare. Having them in very good condition, however usually is. |

One Frame twelve ga
The survey published in Spring Parker Pages indicates the one frame predominated on twelve ga guns in the 25000 - 55000 serial range. These gund were not "light" in modern terms. The predominant weight was 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 pounds.

A t with the crescents usually means "twist" steel in the barrels. The c over the 4 is the normal grade markings of a "C" grade which is also a grade "4". However, a C grade does not usually carry twist barrels; therefore, I think you are misreading a poorly stamped barrel weight stamp which probably means 4 pounds, 6 (not c) ounces. If the "c" is on the upper right hand corner of the 4, I am correct.

Are we talking stamps on the watertable or the barrel flats?
