New...and confused

Robert, if you could post a picture of the hinge pin area and the forearm, whatever it might be, we could probably tell you how to get the barrels off.
Don't fret, there are quite a few old Parker shotguns out there that are not Parker Bros shotguns. Many are fooled by this. Either way, you we be welcomed here, and will find many willing to help you.
By the way, I have a Belgium SxS shotgun that has the lever like yours to open it. Under that lever there is another smaller lever that swings in the other direction that allows the barrels to be removed.

I have alot more info now thanks to the members of this board as well as the Doublegun BBS site...Thanks everyone!
The markings on the gun appear that it is a LeFaucheux and I assume the name Parker on the receiver denotes a model or ?. As info, the markings are: On left side of receiver bed is a capital L, and on the underside if the left barrel is an oval with an E above LG and a star below them. There is also a symbol that resembles a plumb bob or maybe a maul over a M and a star below. The right side receiver bed has the same symbol above a star with an M below.

I am still at a loss as to how/if the barrels detach from the reciever easily or at least without removing a pin to dissassemble. Here's a photo showing the "hinge". I have removed the screw in the hinge thinking it would release it from the lugs, but nothing budged using normal pressure. Any thoughts?

Thanks to all who contributed help in helping me figure out what gun I have here , and I am thinking I may never know for sure other than a cheap Belgian manufactored gun. I have also gained alot of knowledge of what a really fine double looks like and maybe one day I will get a real "Parker".
