OK,:) congrats,
What happens when you have the lever to the side and then unscrew the screw in the hanger below the barrels.
I would believe the barrels will then release and also seperate from the action

Yes...great observation Mike...(and Thanks to Mike; for educating me on how to post pictures...) I did try removing the screw in the hinge but the barrels didn't release...

You are welcome  There is a double tenon there and sometimes you have to vibrate the barrels to have the crud turn loose after the screw is removed. And move them slightly back towards the action PERHAPS  Mike

Mike, kudos to you as you were exactly right...and thanks to your picture, I was able to be confident on how the tenon should let the barrel loose..and here are the photos to show...I had to use a bit of force by pushing the barrel against the floor (carpeted) Thank you very much...what a great site and good people to help!

Yes, We have figured out that it's not a Parker Bros., but the engraving on the receiver does say Parker, which was probably used as a rouse or another way to sell. It has the marks on it of Eugene Lefaucheux (an E over an LG in an Oval) which I think is the mark of his, and as Geo posted earlier, it has the mark of a tower or kind of looks like a plumb bob to me, but it is on the receiver bed as well as the barrels.
