Hello Jose

The Parker you have pictured is a Grade 2 or a GH made around 1902.
It has been completely refinished and not done in the original Parker Bros. techniques.
The barrels and receiver were not originally blued and blueing may have damaged the barrels.

Judging by the amount of wear the buttplate displays I would suspect there may be other things wrong with it that don't meet the eye and without bore micrometers and barrel wall thickness gauges put to use by an expert you may regret the purchase.

Sorry about the bad news but we like to help newcomers and sometimes the truth hurts.

Best Regards, Dean
