Default Hammer gun info
Hi...just getting into parker shotguns...I have 2, one in 16 g and 1 in 12 g...I am somewhat green and wondering if someone has a little info on one I just purchased...the gun is a hammer gun, serial number 53852...( i believe 1888)...it is what I would call respectable condition...16 gauge with twist barrels...the frame size is marked with a "0", and is marked with a T, with upper and lower type parenthesis around it...barrel is marked Parker Bros Makers, Meridan Conn, Twist...there is also what appears to be a 32 on the underside of the barrels...the 3 being twice the size of the two...The main question I have is the forend type on the gun...it does not have a splinter or a beavertail type forend...it seems shorter than the conventional type forend that i have seen and looks nothing like the forends on my other two parkers...I don't have the gun yet, as it will arrive in the next couple of days, so I can't do a complete inspection of the part...the forend seems to match the buttstock in color, although I am unsure of it's authenticity...I cannot see the underside of it, so I can't determine how it is attached...anyhow as I mentioned I am a novice collector and wondering if anyone has any insight...thanks for any info...

Welcome to the PGCA forum. You have plain twist (PT) barrels with an unstruck barrel weight of 3lbs. 2oz. The Serialization book says a 16 gauge with 28” barrels.
Detailed photos will enable further analysis of the forearm.
