The gun you've shown is a sidelock gun, a Parker (hammerless) is a boxlock. The forearm is orignial to the gun. When you look at the pic of the bottom of the barrels you will see a set of "wings" on each side of the lug. When you look at the water table you will see the corresponding slot for the lug and those wings. To my knowledge, only Baker shotguns had them. See the rod that goes thru the lug, when you put the gun together that rod will be pushed the other way when you put the forend on. That rod is the cocking mechanism for the locks. The top of the reciever looks like a Baker.
