I confess it's mine. 83621, Boston Sportsmen Show gun 1898.
March 19th 1898 Sporting Life
PARKER BROS., MERIDKN, CONN. One of the largest assortment of shot guns was shown by this old and well established firm. They had a sample of all the different grades, from the cheapest hammer and hainmerless to the very finest pigeon gun costing $400. Over 80 guns in all were exhibited here. The light and pretty 16-gaupe, the medium weight and popular 12-gauge, the heavier 10-gauge and the big 8-bore were shown side by side. A special sample exhibited was the new grade pigeon gun with Titanic steel barrels, which possess wonderful strength. These guns list at $100, $150 and $200, and are bound to please any shooter who possesses one. A. W. Du Bray and L. C. Parker were in charge.

I love that dark patina on the action , I wonder how that happens compared to action that are worn back to being almost in the white .
