PARKHURST SHOTGUN ID
i was scrounging around in GUN STORAGE ROOM #2 (lesser made shotguns, and miscaleneous parts)at the shop and i found an item of intrest that i am having trouble identifying.
i have the sideplates/locks??? for a double gun. all the springs and the hammersand pins appear intact. i think its from a SXS shotgun.
LEFT HAND PLATE: "PARKHURST"
RIGHT HAND PLATE: "MACHINE MADE"
i am unfamiliar with this maker, or i am blocking out what i know. i am drawing a blank.
any ideas, info, value, history, date, etc...
best regards, mike.

Ah, there were two 'Parkhurst' shotguns. One is English, the other Belgian, with the English being the older of the two.
'Machine Made' is the giveaway. Those locks came off of a Belgian 'Parkhurst' shotgun made by Dumoulin between c.1885-1905. Were you to have the barrels, they would read 'Belgium Fine Damascus' on the rib.
