Let’s try another approach: does the serial number on the barrel flats match the serial number on the receiver and on the trigger guard? If the numbers match it’s pretty safe to assume the barrels are original to the gun.
I have add a photo of the serial number on barrels, Thanks

The correct terminology is muzzle keels.

I'd own it! Very nice!

Very nice!! Getting the best of single triggers for old doubles is a plus.

While the frame looks pure Parker Bros. with the Parker Bros. engraved on the sides. The barrels on the other hand look very Remington with the PARKER GUN WORKS OVERLOAD PROVED stamp, the milk stool stamp, and several date codes and repair codes which are confusing.

As I read the codes -- date codes AH A = March H = 1939, BH B = January H = 1939; repair codes AG3 A = March G = 1938 and EF3 E = October F = 1937 :vconfused:

That is too bad that you feel that way. And that is not the case at all. There are plenty that do quality work and plenty that do not. And I call them like I see them. Period.

The thing is he didn’t ask for anyone’s opinion, including yours. But nevertheless you felt compelled to weigh in and belittle the gun. And he is right: you seem to feel it’s necessary to offer your opinion whether it’s solicited or not.

My opinion is that you have a very nice gun for going out and hunting some game birds or shooting some clays -- and you got it at a good price. There is a lot to love in that transaction.
