Lets see the stamps on the right barrel flat ans what barrel steel is stamped on the rib?
Parker Brothers “only” manufactured Laminated Steel barrels and the majority of the Parker-made Laminated barrels have a P stamped on the forward end of the right barrel flat.
Parker only made their own barrels in 1877, ‘78 and ‘79. Earlier than 1877 are not Parker-made barrels.
I have seen that P.B. In the shield on other types of barrel steel.
