I now have the gun in my possession but alas I am afraid the barrels may be of European manufacture. It does say " PARKER BROS. MAKERS MER. CONN. ACME STEEL " on the top of the barrel. On the bottom of the barrel lug it has a "0".
I understand these markings are normal for a Parker Gun. However the rest of the markings do not match anything I see in the pictures I have available of genuine Parker barrels. There is a "20" on the bottom of the left barrel in front of the flat. On the left flat there is a makers mark that I can't quite make out (looks like a tiny coat of arms) then a star in a circle with "PSF" underneath it and also "WK". On the bottom of the right barrel in front on the barrel flat there is a "179". On the right barrel flat there is the word "FINITO" and the roman numeral "XXIV". As soon as I saw the "FINITO" I thought this must be an imported barrel. Can anyone please tell me what all this means?
Thanks,
Tim
