Wendy, the barrels on your Parker were made and fitted by Manufacture Leguoise De Armes in Belgium and were proofed in 1949. Armaf Dagun was a trade names used by them, if you look on the barrels between the flats and the forend lug you should see a crown over ML, that was their trade mark. I have a set similar to yours that are from 1954. I recall that Atlas Arms offered this service around that time. They also sold unfitted barrels made in Italy that were much lower in quality that are encountered, they were marked Vickers Steel. The ML barrels while not Parker are high quality.
