This gun belonged to my great grandfather. I recently inherited it in his estate. I don't know much about it other
than the fact that it's old. Somebody told me it looked like it had been refinished which obviously changes it's value.
Above the serial number, there is a V, maybe V-Grade? the serial number starts with 112 so thanks to your guide, I found it was made in 1902.
On the barrell, it says:
"Parker Brothers Makers Meriden Conn Vulcan Steel"
Then it says the serial number (heard it wasn't a good idea to post)
"Pat'd Mar 28, 1878"
On the other part of the gun, it says:
"Pat'd Jan 18 Aug 18 1887
May 7- Oct 8 1889"
Possibly some of you gun experts could tell me a little more about this gun like what gauge, model, value is it. I wish I had been around to hear the stories about all the guns my grandfather had but now it's in your hands.
I made a photo gallery with photos of the gun. Some detailed, some didn't come out to well but photos obviously help. It can be viewed by clicking or copying+pasting the link below into the web browser.

Please reply to my post with any information you might have regarding this gun. I appreciate and express the utmost gratitude to your input. Thanks
I might even decide to list it on Gun Broker if it happens to be a highly collectible item. Otherwise, I'll just keep for sentimental reasons.
Mainly, right now. I just need to know what model this gun is, what it sells for or what it's worth (refinished), and what gauge it is. Thanks for all your help. I was referred here by several individuals over at the gunbroker forum. Thanks
