Need Help With an 1888 12 Gauge

Mr Dudley, many thanks on the quick response. I do, however, want to ask about the ejector. I snapped another couple pics to show what I believed to be the ejector so we can discuss that aspect of the piece.





Again, I apologize for the quality of the photos.

That is an extractor. It extracts or lifts the shells from the chamber. It does not eject them clear of the gun.

What your pencil is pointing to is known as an extractor, not an ejector. I do not believe there was ever a Parker hammer gun with ejectors.
