that's possible - but the habit in the UK at the time was to put either the gunmakers name when they made or had the gun made, on some guns it was just the lock maker's name on the lock or often the iron monger's name on the lock or rib, not unlike our "hardware" store guns from makers like Cresent.
William Parker was a known British maker in the mid 1800's - well known enough that Traditions made a modern copy of one of his pistols.
