Pre 74 10 gauge? No S/N

as I expected - British proofs

I am afraid this is not a Parker Brothers shotgun, there was a Parker in Birmingham that made shotguns from te muzzleloading to the early breechloader era.

the engraving looks interesting, depending on condition it may have modest value. If its a family piece, I would display it with pride

So Rick, check out the rest of the photos; this is British? 32" laminated barrel, Parker on the side, same hammers etc.. couldn't this be a very early Connecticut gun?

Chuck, forgive my meddling but you will get more acceptable photos if you turn off your flash. Most cameras these don't really need the flash if you have a little bit of room light and set the ISO for 200. You might also consider taking the gun outside but not where the sun is too bright. I have been chastized by some members in the past for my photo suggestions but if you want us to see what you are photographing these suggestions might help.

Respectfully submitted,
Dennis
