Greetings, I 'm a new member here and could use your help in learning more about a 10 gauge Dbl barrel Parker Brothers shotgun that was just given to me by a great friend. The serial number is 65871 indicating a manufacturing date of 1891. There is no grade marking. The barrel rib is marked Laminated steel. The barrel lug is marked with a 5. The barrel weight is marked with a small 8 followed by a large 1. Above those markings is an H next to the lug. left of the weight marking is an L. The gun is rather plain and without scrollwork. The stock is checkered. There is a silver inlaid crest on the top of the pistol grip, rear of the break-open lever. This gun looks like new, unfortunately, someone in the past has reblued this gun. What can you tell me about this gun?, besides that the value was greatly diminished by the re-blueing.
Thanks and Regards, Ed
