I don't know. My Dad passed in 2003. He had an index card on it that just said, "A valuable old double because of the name Parker", with my name written below, an indication that he wanted me to have it. He grew up in rural Mississippi. I don't know if the gun came from his father's side, or from my Mother's side. Both sides of the family were avid hunters. My Dad had stopped hunting by the late 1980's or early 1990's. He had a duck gun he always used (a Japanese Browning) and a Winchester he used for dove and quail. I can't remember him ever using this gun. If he refinished it, I never new about it. He did take good care of his guns, though. I have about a dozen of his collection (my brother having the other half).
