Bruce, thanks for the post. It does say "Parker" engraved on the sides of the receiver, but not "Parker Bros". Also has the classic Parker dog head butt plate but doesn't say Parker on it. Measured the barrel which is 29.75".
Here are some pics of everything I could find in the way of markings. Some are hard to see in the pics. The number 2007 is on the bottom of the barrel just ahead of the forestock tip. Probably can't read it in the picture. And it says Laminated Steel engraved on the ramp topside. Happy to take more pictures of anything to help identify what this is. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. |

It does indeed have Belgian proofmarks, likely pre-1898. 'AL' is the mark of Arnold Lochet

Thanks for the info guys! Disappointing that it's not a real Parker Bros but you've set me off on an investigation that's pretty fascinating and fun.
I'm excited to determine if it came from Sears, Montgomery Wards, or some other reseller. Regardless of it's value it'll have an honored spot and a great story to tell behind it. Thanks again for all your help. |

Get some Balistol and treat all the metal with it. It will remove the rust and preserve the metal. David
