I'd 1st say it's a Birmingham 6 bore, but 0.873" was for a 7 bore. Sometimes the finishing/polishing made it a little larger when it was apparent that the tubes weren't finished. Is it rifled? Is that a "W&CS" stamp under the right tube? Looks like it might have been checked twice with the 2 "7"s and the crossed scepters on the plugs.

Kind Regards,

There was a William Parker, a Birmingham stock maker. There were also several W. Parker's in the USA who could have imported the barrel.
