It looks to me like the word "titanic" in the rib has been post parker put in. The "T" in the barrel flats looks like it was stamped over a "D" for damascus, besides it should be in a circle for titanic. Parker stopped using the rib stamping with "Conn" in it in 1915. It should be "CT" It could be a scratch but the barrels look like they have a seam in them between the letters NI in Titanic. It is hard to tell but it dosent look like the barrels have the hardend bolt plate that post 1905 guns have. Parker quit using the patent dates on the barrel flats in 1905. Before I bid on this gun I would have to see every place there should be a serial number. It looks fishy but I could be wrong.
