1866 parker shotgun

Looks like your gun was made in 1875. If it looks like mine it would be a 12 ga Under Lifter hammer with a length of 30 inches. My barrel was Laminated steel and used the Quality 0and Quality 1 gun. Since my barrel was replaced it is now a Damascus Barrel. Your gun is one of the older parkers. Congrads on your recent gift. Not much help with any other sites. I found this site about the best one out there.

Hey Gary, after further review of the Parker I found the serial no. T4741, not sure if that helps any. I also received a single shot 12 ga. "JANNEY, SEMPLE, HILL & CO" MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. You have to remove a pin to take the barrel off, the butt plate says; MOHAWK GUN CO. serial no. 3102. Just cleaning them,wondering if anyone may have additional information about these guns?????

There are hundreds of entries on google about the company that marketed your gun. However, there is little likelyhood that they manufactured the gun.
