Interesting that the bottom of the hang tag indicates to use a 11ga wad in a 12 ga shell. Just another piece of history confirming the overbored barrels of that time period.

What is the grade stamped on the action? (Don't have the book with me). Seems an odd combo of grade and barrel steel for 1885.

Looks to me like a Grade-4 with appropriate Bernard Steel barrels Arthur.

Looks like the rib has the words: Steel Jas Mullen Erinsville Ontario. Is this a picture of another gun instead of a Parker?
