HDAV Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 G90F? Is that the proof mark? proof mark will tell you the year and country it was proofed style a bit more google should fill in the gaps but without photo's not much you can do. O/U or SxS? 12G? hammer? Sidelock? Age will help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlin vs Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I got this reply from another site in case anyone is interested.Thanks to everone who tried. I found a reference to a J. PARKINSON. Not much but it reads "Gun maker located at 18 Arran Quay, Dublin,Ireland in the 1880's at least. Shotguns made by him were marked J. PARKINSON 17 ARRAN QUAY DUBLIN in the top rib and J.PARKINSON on the locks (action sides if a hammerless gun" Take a look on the bottom of the barrels under the forearm for English proof marks.
