Default Help ID Parker Hammer Gun

I have two Parker hammer guns that I'm trying to ID and estimate value. The first I'll post is a 10 gauge with 29.25 inch barrels serial number 30319. I believe it was manufactured in 1883. On the water table frame size is 3, there is a 5 with a upper 6, then a T with an upper J. Pics attached. Is this enough info to id?

It is one of only 9 known 10 ga. Grade-0 T/A hammer guns with original 29-inch Plain Twist Steel barrels that originally had an unstruck barrel weight of 5 lbs., 6 oz.

Value is quite subjective depending on a lot of criteria, one of which is percent of original condition and this example appears to have little in the way of condition.

Thanks for the info! The gun appears to be complete and functional with pitting in the bore. It's not in great shape but the wood and metal appear intact.
