No. The barrels should be rust blued (low temp) & not hot blued. Hot bluing soft soldered barrels is too hot of a temp. & can melt and/or weakin the solder joint. Hot bluing soldered barrels is a no no. You better have this looked at by a competant gunsmith to Determine if its safe to shoot. All of those holes in the bottom rib are not normal.

There are surviving Parker Factory records for your gun.

Typos in the book is an acknowledged fact. Not common, but it did happen.

Ordering instructions for a letter begin at the home page.

Welcome to the forum, hope your appetite and interest in Parker Bros. gets ignited by this first acquisition. It is a pleasure we all enjoy on this forum.

John

Is there a way to determine if in fact it was hot blued for sure?

Hot bluing is a caustic solution process that attacks the solder & the hot bath of the bluing salts is too high of a temp that can cause the soldered barrels to weeken & possibly come apart. You need to have a competant gunsmith check it out to see if its safe to shoot

Competent gun smith around here is going to be hard to find I think. For something like this anyway.
