Brian is correct
I can only see one in the posted picture, but if you look at the proof marks on the under side of the barrel and google “Belgium proof marks”. I think you will find they match

Dennis: It is a Crescent Model 2 made about 1898 and sold by Sears.
The barrels are Twist. https://docs.google.com/document/pub...iu5JGIhfguSXXQ Sears sold other Parker knock-off variants; some by Crescent and some from Belgium ![]() The gun was not of high quality when new 120 years ago, and I would suggest cleaning the external surfaces and hanging it in a place of honor in your home.

T PARKER NEW YORK is not a Parker Bros. shotgun, the subject of this organization.
At first glance I thought the gun was one of the cheap Belgian guns that flooded the world from the 1880s to WW-I. But with no proof marks on the barrel flats and watertable it may be a cheap North American made gun built to compete with the cheap Belgian imports after the McKinley tariffs were in place. I have no pictures in my files of a Crescent Fire Arms Co. hammer gun with that style top-lever and the Purdey-style double underbolts of the gun in question. |

Hard to read, but I have this listed as T. Barker New York and it appears to be the same gun
![]() The OP's gun looks to have a J spring 'pull off' FE rather than the later Crescent "Deeley & Edge" FE attachment Crescent "American Gun Co. New York" and I believe the same gun ![]()

Even more confusion. This is the T. Barker listing in the 1902 Sears catalog, but the engraving is clearly T. Parker.
![]() "Royal Damascus Finish" would be Faux Damascus. Again, the OPs gun has no proof marks so is not Belgian.
