T PARKER NEW YORK is not a Parker Bros. shotgun, the subject of this organization.
At first glance I thought the gun was one of the cheap Belgian guns that flooded the world from the 1880s to WW-I. But with no proof marks on the barrel flats and watertable it may be a cheap North American made gun built to compete with the cheap Belgian imports after the McKinley tariffs were in place.
I have no pictures in my files of a Crescent Fire Arms Co. hammer gun with that style top-lever and the Purdey-style double underbolts of the gun in question.
