Hi everyone,

I joined up today to get some help with a Parker that I possess because no one else in the family wanted it---probably because no one knew what it was. It's a "nice" specimen in its own way but certainly not as fine as some that I've seen here. I believe it to be a Grade 2 (G?) with what looks like geese engraved on one side and a Retriever on the buttplate. More on that one at another time.

I also possess this other mystery side-by-side. No markings on it that make any sense for an ID, at least to not to me, so maybe one of you can help.

It's heavy. 31.5" barrels. The oddest thing about it is that it doesn't appear to have ever had a wood forend. Unless I'm missing something it was not made to have one. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.

Thanks much.
