Parker manufactured Laminate barrels are not real common and are unique, meaning desirable in my opinion.

Amen to that! Do everything you can to save those barrels. They are much to rare in any gauge but especially a small bore (and good looking when cleaned up) to not save them. The butt plate and stock looks like a D grade. You might look under the trigger guard and see if the serial number of the stock matches the frame. There looks to be a couple of small gaps around the tang, and someone may have swapped a stock at one time.
If you don't keep the barrels, try and find another set to fit. The barrels you have will be purchased by someone if for nothing else than to refinish and run Briley 28 gauge inserts.
