Default Parker Rifle?

Hi All,

We have a Parker Bros bolt action rifle in the family that has been passed down from my grandfather to my father. I am trying to find out more about this gun, it’s age, and history. The only thing I can find online about Parker Bros rifles are that most were made for the civil war. This rifle does not seem that old, but I certainly could be wrong. Can anyone tell me more about what I might have??

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure it isn't a Parker Hale?
