Your gun is a very nice Grade 1, Laminated Steel, top lever hammer gun in unmolested condition. If the bores are clean and there is no other hidden damage, your gun will be of interest to those who wish to shoot or collect heavy barrel ten gauge Parkers. Six pound barrels are nice shooting guns. A mark on the bottom of the rear barrel lug will tell you what the frame size is. A "3" would be common, a "4" would be scarce in this grade of gun. Let us know what you have and when you plan to sell it. Some sellers actually add pictures of the bores on the guns they have for sale. By the way, the "ejector" you describe is actually what is called an "extractor". The ejector came later and is spring loaded to throw the shells clear of the gun. As a member, you are allowed to actually sell this gun on this site. A gun of this age does not normally need any special proof of eligibility to purchase, so you can send it to anyone who meets your approval as a responsible adult.

Bill, Thanks for your post. I attached a picture of the rear barrel showing a number 3. Is that what you are referring to? Also I will get some pictures of the bores.

I snooped on your Vietnam tour and enjoyed it. Can you go on one of the other sub forums and tell us about it and maybe post a link?

I promised to upload a picture of the bore. Here it is. Any thoughts on the value of this gun would be appreciated.
