not a Parker Bothers, nor do I think this is one of the Birmingham England Parkers.


the best way to tell for sure is to look at the proof marks - they will be on the underside of the barrels ahead of the flats.

you could post pictures here or compare them to the Belgium marks shown here

Thank you for that although I couldn't see the one I just found. I managed to take the bugger apart here is a pic of the underside of the barrels.

I think the crown over bp is a birmingham proof mark. At least it looks like the one in my book by W.W. Greener.
