34" is rare
 

Looking in the book I see less than 800 34" barrel guns, not including the single barrel trap guns, out of the 240,575 (242,487 total - 1912 single barrel trap guns), Parkers made. Roughly .003325 or .33%. Obviously, they made some guns longer, but those are fewer by far.
Beautiful gun.

Help please
 

Happy to be here but a bit embarrassed .. I recently after a few years of searching finally picked up my first Parker side by side in 12 gauge ... it’s as pretty and fit as I knew it would be . I have the serial number of “170402” and through this site I now confirmed it was built in 1915 ... I have two over unders and I have no clue how to break down this gun ! There is no lever on the hand guard ... can anyone help me out here ?

Brian - welcome

it might have been better to start a new thread rather than piggy back on another topic

but, I am guessing you have a Trojan model - you can go to the home page and on the left you will find a link to "Parker grades" scroll down until you find the pictures of the Trojan - the action profile is a little different from the other grades so its easy to identify

If my guess is correct - Trojans came with a snap on foreend - those pull off from the front(get a finger under the tip and pull it down and away from the barrels). Some of them can be very stiff.
one of our members had a tool designed to make removal easier - you might check to see if he has any left
