New Parker owner needs help

Here are some new pics I took to help determine what I have and it's approximate value. The barrels measure 28" not 30 as originally thought. Any Info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Bill, I shoot and reload for a 12 bore L C Smith hammer gun made after 1913 with twist damascus bbls. Please have the bbls. measured for wall thickness- especially the first 14 inches in front of the chambers- as this is where the peak pressure will occur. Mine measure .31 and .32 at the thinnest points. Be cautious and be safe.

Is that a surface rust spot, or actual pitting on the left barrel?

It is actually a dark swirl of the barrel twisting. There is no rust or pitting that I can find.
