I agree with Brian that the breech balls appear small, and while experience says never say never, a quick scan of the serialization book shows no 16ga guns for many thousand serial numbers. The very first entry says 16ga but I think that may be an error, since no 16 shows up until the 16,000 range. You may have a gun which was returned at a later date for new barrels. I think if it turns out to be a genuine 16ga back action gun, serious students of early Parker’s would love to put eyes on it.
