Parkhurst serial numbers

[Brutus]

Was wondering if anyone has access to serial number lookup these sxs blackpowder cartridge hammer guns?

I suspect mine is the later series (1902-1938?) Belgian made gun. My Google Fu appears weak on this subject.

Thank you

Probably isn't a serial lookup for most of the garden variety Belgian guns. Name is funny, Parkhurst/ Parker. Have seen several trying to capitalize on well known higher end brands from the late 1900's. LC Schmidt instead of LC Smith, Barker Bros, instead of Parker Bros, W Richards instead of Westley Richards and on and on. Google Belgian proof marks and you should be able to narrow down date of manufacture, 1902-1938 should be nitro proof.

Proof marks often cover several decades. That's hardly specific to an actual year of manufacture.
Thank you

I realize proof marks cover several years sometimes decades but with the less known brands that is the best you can do.
