Here is what I know so far...

12 gauge double barrel side by side (12 gauge snap caps fit in just fine.)
Rib on barrel says "Parker Bros. Damascus steel".
Serial number dates it to about 1905.
Dogs head rubber buttplate.
Straight grip.
Hammerless.
Engravings on the sides of the receiver of some of sort of flying birds (in pairs).
Really nice engraving on the bottom of the receiver.
My camera sucks so I cant get good pictures at this time.

Better still would be to find someone here on Vancouver island that knows something about these shotguns and or may be interested in buying it.

Thoughts, advice, ideas on this subject welcome.

Mine ( not this high of a grade) has the grade marked on the barrel lugs. There are some very knowledgeable people here who will help you further but they will need more info that is printed on the barrel flats and receiver.

I wish I had a better camera.
I found pics on line of one that could be it's twin as far as engravings goes:

Only the one I'm trying to find info on has a straight stock and I'm pretty sure is in 12 gauge.
