Inherited an old Parker and it's loaded!

[William Brentlinger]

Mother in-law is gone now... sigh... nice lady.

I am definitely not familiar with the inherited shotgun, since receiving only last week. Side plate was stamped with "Parker" which lead me here, and now I know that Parker Brothers and Parker are not the same.

A TC 12 gauge muzzle loader , 3 band 1861 Springfield replica, Hawken replica, many Colt/Remington replica pistols and serving on a 10 lb cannon crew have been a few life experiences.

My kit has all the tools needed to pull the load and I ordered a TC CO2 unloading kit.

Thanks for the info on proofing marks. I will be checking out what my wall hanger really is after getting it in a safe state.

P.S. I noticed the forearm shim looks like wood vice brass/steel. Some body dropped a part somewhere...
