New to Site w/old Parker

[Phil Leggett]

Hello from the desert of southwestern Arizona. I hope you guys can help me figure out what I've got on my hands. Yes I read your web site and retrieved most of the pertenent information. I was hoping to be prepared with nice pictures but due to the resolution setting on my camera they're not clear when enlarged.

So, here's what I've got:
16 Ga Parker Bros Side-by-side Hammerless
Frame - O
Weight of Barrel - 37
Grade - P (1)
Barrel - Twist
Ejector - Yes
Serial # - 67057

There are many dates on this thing
Front stock - Pat'd Mar 26, 1878
Barrel - Pat'd May 11, 1878
Receiver has three dates: Mar 15, 1875 (one side), Pat'd Jan 15-Aug 16, 1887 and below that is May 7-Oct 8, 1889 (opposite side from first date)

It also has a breach lever that's curved to the right instead of straight. There's a bird dog with a bird in its mouth on the butt plate.

I'll try to take some better pictures to post but know that the wood is in sad shape (I did post a picture of that and others that distort when enlarged).

Any help you can give would be much appreciated.
