E.D Parker double barrel with hammer, serial # reveals 1881 as year of manufacture. Grade G with overall barrel length of 23 3/4 inches. Forearm serial number does not match the numbers on the receiver and barrel which do match. Should it be the same on the forearm? The top of the barrel rib has an inscription that partially reads 'E. D. Parker London ___________'. We can not make out the next word or words. Possibly 'Fine_ _mas_ _'. The over all condition of the gun is good. It does not have Damascus barrels. Attached is a photo of the numbers and symbols on the barrels. What do these mean? I hope someone can me out here! Thanks in advance!
