Stallones, T Barker is what is referred to here as just another Belgian clunker. 8ga is a little rare but they were very cheap and cheaply made guns. Sorry.

Thanks Mike,
That is what I was suspecting.It is hard to make a Race horse out of a Plow Horse.

Per http://www.hoosiergunworks.com/catalog/cross_reference.html T. Barker was another H. & D. Folsom Arms gun.

The 1909 Sears catalog has T. Barker guns with "Royal Damascus Finish" no less for $11.22 or $13.35 with 36" barrels. This gun was available in 10ga, 12ga and 16ga. They also have an unnamed 8ga "Giant Goose Gun" with 36" barrels for $21.10.

I would check the gun for Belgian proof marks to be sure.

Had a T.Barker back action 12. The lockwork looked like the internals were cut by an angry kid with a hacksaw.
I don't know if they were graded but I would ask to look under the plates first to see how bad it is.
Who knows, you may get a surprise.
