Barrels look good with very minor pitting (with one possibly troubling spot). I plan to have a smith look them over. The twist pattern looks good under the forearm but a bit brown and rusty elsewhere. Bores seem to be about .798 - .802, chokes .030 on both sides, chambers 2-7/8." I'd also welcome thoughts on what to do with the barrels and what to shoot it with if it checks out OK.

Dave,
She looks real good to me. I would not do a thing to her. The checkering has not been worn off as most guns her age and overall just a wonderful example of a near 130 year old Parker. I have a lifter 10 with .802 bores and .030 constriction in each barrel as well. Mine is on a 2 frame so it is not as robust as yours. I shoot RST's or loads I have made from Sherman Bell's data. I shoot black powder every now and then just to frighten the woman folk.
A great find!
Harry
