Unfortunately, this is not a Parker Bros. shotgun. By the proof marks on the barrel flats it was proofed in Liege Belgium. So, it is a Belgian gun made to fool the unwary buyer of the time into thinking that they were buying a Parker Bros. shotgun. It was a common enough practice at the time.

more likely with the age- they were knock offs of the British Parker shotgun
