Got this from my grandfather years ago…..

When he passed. He collected odds and ends, none of it worth much more than the sentimental value that comes from a boy and his grandfather. Any way, I’ve had this gun for years but have never inquired about its origins or value. Does anyone have a clue what I have other than a Parker bros 10 gauge double barrel:
Thanks for any help y’all can provide.

That's a very interesting high-grade lifter. I'm sure folks will chime in here soon with information. In the mean time clean it up with a rag and some oil and take better pictures. It looks a bit grotty. Folks will want many more pictures of good quality.

Looks like a 250.00 dollar grade with some firing pin issues, lets see the stock, and the barrels, like rich said need more photos, gary

250.00 dollar grade sounds about par for the course for gramps haha. Sorry about all the bad pics.

#2570 shows up in our Serialization Book as a 30" barrel 12 gauge, but that may be an error. Your gun is an exceptional rarity. Requesting a PGCA letter on the gun may give you some more information. Join PGCA and the letter and the membership will cost less than the letter alone for a non member.

Excellent suggestion, will do!

Welcome Grant! Special family heirloom. I would hold onto it. Join PGCA and get a letter as the others suggest.

Yeah, $250 back then was a princely sum. That's quite a find. Don't do anything to that but clean it up until others give advice. Congrats. Oh, chances are it's worth more than $250...

I'm sure he could double his money ;-)
