Help..Real or not
About 15 years ago I received a Parker from my cousin who died from a stroke. This hung over his fireplace for years, after he bought it at a church auction of donated items. After I received it I placed it in my gun cabinet and forgot about it. This winter I decided to clean a number of the shotguns and I decided to start with this parker. Now I am not sure if it is a Parker. I went looking for a serial number and where the serial number should be on the water mark. It is stamped with the number 13. The barrel is marked on the top rib with "LAMINATED". The side plates have only the name "Parker", not "Parker Bros." There is a lot of scrolling with a pair of Quail, I think, on it. Even the trigger guard has scrolling on it. It is very faint. In the stock there is a gold colored "plug" in the bottom of it. Any help I would appreciate. Thank you, Roy
