The stock and forend would be of interest to Parker gun guys. The other parts, not so much, too much missing. The metal parts and wood parts are probably not from the same source. Post more pictures and measure the exact distance between the firing pin holes for more information. There should be a serial number stamped in the wood under the trigger guard. I've got a ziploc bag of parts. I can't be 100% sure ever part is there but it looks like there are plenty. No serial number on wood. It is inlayed nicely to action.

The Serialization Book says Damascus barreled Grade 3 with 30" 12 gauge barrels. So, it's not a 20 according to the Parker Bros. records.

The firing pin holes are 1.125" apart. 20 gauge was an assumption I made by judging the size of the action.

Much more likely to find an orphan set of 12 barrels than 20's. Parkers had a lot of parts when compared to a Fox. Well made guns even in the lowest grades.

I could tell based on just the photo of the frame that it was not a 20g or even a small frame 16. The proportions of the frame have 2 frame 12 written all over it.
And your measurement of 1-1/8" verifies it is a 2 frame.
A set of 2 frame 12g barrels is about the most commonly encountered set of Parker barrels you could ask for. Fitting them correctly is another story. Each gun was hand fitted and there is a lot of variation from gun to gun.
Even being a grade 3, putting this gun back together from what you have would be a labor of love.
FYI, the stock and forend in the photos are not from a D grade gun, so they cannot be original to the frame you have. So, you are missing more than you think.

Thanks for the link.
I don't have the time, talent, or money to put this gun back into original condition. If I can find usable barrels that I can fit, I'll make a nice shooter out of it. It will at least be preserved for someone in the future to use.
I'll get back to the guy I got it from and see if he's came up with the original barrels. Even if they are unusable, maybe they can be salvaged with sleeves. If not, at least I'll have a good reference to know what I'm looking for.
If all I got is an ammo can full of Parker parts, at least I have a real ammo can!
You guys are great.
