The barrels are Acme Steel and marked as such. That I got right. I apologize to Chuck. The trigger is likely a Parker according to Mark Beasland who has all but the barrels in his shop. I saw several Miller triggers at the SxS so I must be having flashbacks! The barrel selector is to the left of the single trigger.
Thank you, Ed and Bill and Opening Day for your prompt replies. In due time, I will take more pics and submit them for analysis. Mark will clean, inspect and lube this beauty and deal with the stain and forend bluing as suggested. Chasing the checkering will likely bring out the color to +/- match the buttstock.
I have always respectfully declined any invites into Facebook. And glad I did. But reading and questioning and learning about an iconic American product is the kind of jawboning that is worthwhile. All hail Charles Parker!
