I have not seen a Belgian "Parker" knock-off with a 'PF' mark



The maker could have been Pirlot & Frésart

or Pirlot Frères

It is a lower quality gun with Twist barrels and does not carry smokeless powder proof. You might squirt some epoxy in the firing pin holes before hanging it up to protect the unknowing from themselves.

Or just remove the firing pins by taking out the retaining screws in the breech balls. This would not damage the gun, and if you ever wanted to take up reloading you could make some VERY low pressure loads that MAY be usable in this gun. If you go this route have a good gunsmith measure the barrel wall thickness and assess whatever pitting may be present in them. The gun may not be worth the effort, but there are other 100+ year old JABC's out there being used.
