Frank, your Parker has all the attributes of a Parker trap gun with the exception of the double triggers and the lack of two ivory beads. However, double triggers could have be ordered by the original owner. The vent rib is original Parker Bros and can be verified by the last three digits of the serial number stamped on the underside of the rib between posts 2 & 3 (if memory serves me) from the breech. It has the flat top of the breech to accomodate the vent rib barrels and it appears to have a longer than normal beavertail forend.
