Would you know when the Parker Brothers first started making these ole Lifters, jus trying to get a handle on when it might have been make, I'm guessing 1872 or 73 maybe. Also, I'm looking for some springs for the firing pins, would you know where I can pick some up? or maybe know a person that makes them?

I ordered some springs from Grainger. I measured the old ones that were in a lifter that were worn out and found just the size I needed on there online catalog.

There is nothing special about the springs. Any light spring of the appropriate size or close to it will work.

That 'JL' is familiar and has been found on a number of Belgian doubles.
The subject gun; possibly Laminated Steel but possibly there is a section of barrel where the contrast is more apparent?  Crowned 'JL' with crolle - likely pre-WWI Belgian double  Belgian unknown maker or DOM but 'JL' with ACO for Acier Cockerill so fluid steel  'JL' may be H.Jonlet & M. Lovet, but I can't find anything about them. At least some Lifters have Birmingham proof marks on the tubes but we know "rough forged tubes" were also sourced from Belgium.

Decarbonized Steel barrels were put on some of the very earliest Parkers.
