I am not sure if this is the proper address for a question but here goes. I have a Parker Bros. 12 Ga 30” barrel shotgun. The serial number is 90088 on both the water table and forearm.
the water table is also marked “G” and “2” which I believe to be a GH. The barrels are marked “Parker Bros Makers Meridian Ct USA Vulcan Steel” however the serial numbers on the
barrels is 18980 G or 8. I believe it is an 8 but he number is somewhat scratched. Are these barrels original to the gun or could they have been a second set of barrels for the gun? Also
could the gun originally had Damascus barrels that were shot out and then a new set of steel barrels ordered from Parker Bros?
I collect other Parker Bros doubles and usually do not have a problem authenticating them but this one puzzles me and I thought you might be able to answer my question.
In advance, I would like to thank you for your web site and any information you might be able to provide me.
Sincerely,
