Not a Parker Bros. gun, but still a very cool rifle! I think I would have to shoot it.

What it is, is a Vincent style rifle. Looks to be in decent condition. Suggest you try to find a local shop that specializes in traditional muzzleloading. There are some online resources wheee you can lean more about black powder. Have fun.

Col. Gardner's book, American Gunmakers, doesn't list a T.J. Parker, but does list a Thomas Parker in Oberlin, Lorain County, Ohio, in the 1850s.

1850's sounds about right for that rifle.

Interesting place to mark it on the muzzle. I am not at all up to snuff on muzzleloading guns. Did other makers mark the muzzles like this?

I'm not a muzzle loading rifle expert but I been around them for a long time and I've never seen the maker's mark on the muzzle like that.
