Thanks, Charlie. What does sleeved mean? I confess I am new to Parker Shotguns. Most of my collecting has focused on antique military firearms and I'm familiar with the installation of rifled sleeves into bored out surplus Civil War rifles after the war, which were brazed to the original barrel. Is that similar to what happened with this barrel and, if so, was this something done at Parker Bros or by a gunsmith somewhere else?

The rib and stamping is not Parker factory work.

so - old outside of the chambers area - new barrels BTW - most of the time - as in almost always - the craftsman makes the joint as seamless as possible - often hiding it completely i have not seen one that draws attention to it like this one

The engraving pattern on the chambers is that for a higher grade Parker.
