Take the forearm off and push up on the plunger looking thing (that's a technical term) sticking out of the bottom of the action and the gun will open and the barrels lift right off. The "plunger looking thing" functions like a top lever to release the barrel lock up.

Anyone read killing mr watson? A interesting story and reminder of how rough things were (in places anyway) during some or most of the parker era.

I am new here on the forum, but I just did some research on my Parker and might be able to steer you in the right direction. I had a little trouble reading the serial number, but I believe that it is 20084. If so, then your gun was manufactured in 1880. The other markings to too hard to read, but they are all explained in this website. Just go to the home page and look for "Parker Identification". You will find a step-by-step guide to reading the markings, and how to interpret them. I found out that your gun (assuming serial number 20084) does have Surviving Factory Records. I just paid the $42 dollars for a Parker Research Letter - you might consider doing the same. Hope this helps.
