you may find this interesting, the barrel rib states "Parker Brothers Makers, Meridian Conn. Vulcan Steel". The sn on the left underside of the barrel is 64,796. It is on a gun with sn 102XXX. I have the shipping log from Parker, NY indicating the gun was ordered in early 1902 and shipped in August 1902. So the barrel was probably from another gun, but can you tell me the year of manufacture and the original configuration?
