New...and confused

Have you removed the screw in the bottom of the wedge shaped 'forearm' under the barrels? I've not seen this system before; just guessing.

Thanks to everyone for the help on this post. I have found everyone to be very helpful.

The screw on the hinge was removed and with some shaking, finally turned loose the barrels. The determination on the guns history is not complete, and I may never know the manufactor, however with help from this and other forums, it is Belgium made (the mark ELG over a star in an Oval). This gun was produced in a mass introduction of low priced guns and has no real $ value, and was for blackpowder use and is not to be used with modern ammo.

Thanks again everyone for all the feedback.

Robert,

Now you need to find the "real deal." There are many out there and for a reasonable price. Keep searching and asking questions.

Yes...my exact sentiments, and my next quest...to find a really nice Parker Bros or maybe an LC or ???.I am looking but all that I have found are way way off the budget...and I want one I can hunt with, not just to look at and admire!

This is a different gun with similar release mechanism. Took me a while to realize there was a second small underlever that allowed the barrels to be removed. The big lever just breaks the action to load/unload. Can't really see from your pics if you might have a second lever (doesn't look like it but who knows). Good luck on your search for a nice Parker Bros. shooter. They are out there.

Thanks for the info....however mine doesn't have the second lever, instead it has a screw that has to be removed from the hinge, and then the action and barrels can be released from each other.
