I can't quite make out the name on the side of the receiver, but I believe what you have is a gun made in Belgium. The previous poster is correct: It is not a Parker. It may even say "Parker" on it, but it will NOT say Parker Bros.
The lever on the fore arm should pull up, and if you pull hard on it, and get your finger under the fore arm front, where it touches the barrels, you should be able to pry the fore end off. then, shove the top lever to the right as far as it will go, and swivel the barrels off the gun by opening them and forcing the barrels down.
Then, on the inside where the flat part of the action that has the hammers meets with the flat part of the barrels, you will most likely see a "proof" mark that is like a crown with initials in it. That would make it a Belgium gun.
The United States had many of these serviceable guns imported at one time, and the makers took license with names, either outright copying names or using a very similar name to famous American names.
They were much less costly than a Parker, and for the most part, did their duty.
