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.

'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.
