I'm not sure- was the serial number on the receiver's water table different than what was shown for the barrels-?? The firing pins both look to be same length as seen from the firing pin holes in the standing breech- just a "swag" but usually older hammer guns that have been fired a lot with the older powders of that day- may often show that by the condition of the firing pins and face of the breech- looks like a nice Parker, and we have many members in the PGCA that are very "up" on the older hammer series Parkers- and what's even better, shoot them today- after a good gunsmith check-up of course--
Please consider joining the PGCA. If I had a Stevens 511 12 I wanted to sell, then yes, like Mark, I would list it on the Double Gun Workshoppe- but you have a Parker- why not "hunt the pond with the most ducks using same"-- of course, there is a flip side- you might discover enough about not only your Parker but the whole world of Parker guns from this Forum, and decide to keep it as a fine example of hand craftsmanship[ from an era we will never know again in this land-IMO!!
