The barrels are Remington Era barrels as per the markings on the side of the barrel lug, and the serial number location on the barrels.
None of the serial number stamping looks right to me for any era of Parker. And there is very little that looks right about the engraving. Especially on the frame. That poorly cut signature appears to read "reproduction by ???" I can't even begin to make out the end of it. I think it is safe to say the gun is a upgrade.

The dogs look a little scruffy and overweight too! The head on the pointer looks like a TN blue tick hound.

I just finished close inspection of my recently acquired A1S 20 GA Skeet Gun Upgrade using a jewelers loop.
The "band " reads: ENGR REPRODUCTION RPRUNGE ILION NY This band is only 1/16" in width and I am amazed that it could be so engraved! Bob Jurewicz |

Sometimes, images like this are better seen with the naked eye. Too much detail in a digital image can fool the brain.

Seems like old Bill Jaqua (just end died Jan this yr ar 94 yrs) always had a supply of upgraded guns of all types. Think he bought a bunch of Franck Pachmayr guns which I recall some Parkers and Model 21 which some of which were quite nice. Just my comments hate to see so many of the Really Old Guys go that I remember growing up and read about.

Fascinating to read the observations! So, what's this gun worth in the estimation of those who have scrutinized the photos? Just curious.
