so i have gotten my hands on a 1889 sxs 10ga parker. was my dads, his dads and so on. has been cleared to fire by a good gunsmith. both barrels have not been modified. and over all cosmetically its in moderate shape little ruff on the wood and some metal patina but not bad over all.

guess i have a 3 weight barrel but a number 2 frame. also frame says i have ejectors but i only have extractor on barrel, and yes serial numbers match all the way around.
i have numerous dates stamped on the frame. pat'd jan 18. aug 16 1887 then below that there is may 7 1889 and below the serial number it is mar 16 1875. are all of those the patented dates for numerous parts. or are a few of them the order date and delivery date.
