Parker shotgun no. 5385 shows as a PS U 0 12 30 so it is in fact a 12 gauge.
359 Parkers are listed as PS which is as you see on the rib, Plain Steel.
the S with the crescent above and below is the stamp for this barrel steel.
The 4 with the smaller 8 is the pre-struck barrel weight, 4 lbs., 8 oz.
The U in the Action Type column is (arguably) for Underlifter.
The 0 with the s are inspection stamps most likely.
