From what I see the basis for this gun was a 20-ga. Parker Reproduction built on a 0-frame. (To my knowledge all original .410 Parker Reproductions were built on either a 00 or 0000-frame.) It appears the metal may have been bone charcoal case hardened. The barrels are aftermarket and not original to the gun, the barrel wedge engraving was added, the "Parker Gun Works Overload Proved" proof stamp may have been used by Remington for a time, (I believe Brian Dudley had shown us a picture of the actual stamp - not sure who has it now. I'm guessing the barrels may have been built by Remington or perhaps CSMC when they were producing .410 0-frame aftermarket barrels to be fitted to Parker Reproductions or orig. Parkers about a decade or so ago.
How well does the forend fit?
Perhaps others and/or Richard Skeuse can add more . . .
