If in good or better condition you have an interesting and useful Parker. Likely your gun was made as a fairly late 16g Damascus gun on a #1 frame that someone sent back to Parker Bros. at a later date to add a set of 12g Titanic steel barrels. This was not unusual. What is unusual is that your gun survives with both sets of barrels. Current research and practice among doublegun enthusisast has revived an interest in shooting Damascus guns. If your research letter confirms my "theory" so much the better. Again depending on condition and originality your gun could be sold privately for atleast $4-5000. Good Luck with it.
