Wedges are the triangular shaped metal fitted under the rib above (and below) where the barrels touch.

The serial numbers all match so its probably safe to assume the barrels are the oiginal barrels.

Let’s try another approach: does the serial number on the barrel flats match the serial number on the receiver and on the trigger guard? If the numbers match it’s pretty safe to assume the barrels are original to the gun.

I have add a photo of the serial number on barrels, Thanks

The correct terminology is muzzle keels.

Beautiful gun. Shoot it and enjoy! Don't worry about anyone else's opinion. If you shoot it well and it makes you smile, that's all that matters!

[Phil Yearout]

I'd own it! Very nice!

Very nice!! Getting the best of single triggers for old doubles is a plus.

While the frame looks pure Parker Bros. with the Parker Bros. engraved on the sides. The barrels on the other hand look very Remington with the PARKER GUN WORKS OVERLOAD PROVED stamp, the milk stool stamp, and several date codes and repair codes which are confusing.

As I read the codes -- date codes AH A = March H = 1939, BH B = January H = 1939; repair codes AG3 A = March G = 1938 and EF3 E = October F = 1937

Nice find. Enjoy it.

Hard to beat an estate sale find! Enjoy

My opinion is that you have a very nice gun for going out and hunting some game birds or shooting some clays -- and you got it at a good price. There is a lot to love in that transaction.
