T. Parker is usually dismissed as "just another Belgian clunker," but I am beginning to think that is only because of the similiarity to a brand name (T. Barker) used by Sears on inexpensive imported shotguns c 1900.
A muzzle-loading percussion gun would have been made at least 40 years earlier. It is still probably a very utilitarian (keep the fox out of the henhouse) shotgun that will not attract collectors and is worth whatever a yuppie will pay for a mantle decoration.
I can't give you any information except that the type of gun would have been manufactured between the 1830's when the percussion cap was developed and about 1870 when breech loading shotguns had been available for about 10 years.
I would be interested in learning any additional information you may find.
If it opens to insert a shell, it's not percussion. It will be one of the inexpensive guns imported around 1900 by the thousands. Not collected unless in like-new condition, no value as a shooter. I've heard that the "decorator value" has fallen in the last few years, but might bring $150 + from a yuppie with a western theme (a couple of restaurant chains have one hanging in every location).

What is value of Sam Holt Arms 10 GA double barrel with outside hammers Has dog on side Belgian laminated steel barrels Breech loaded also have original ammo for it?
It would be most foolish to fire this gun. Laminated barrels are also called Damascan barrels and have been known to corrode and weaken where you can't see the damage. This was aggravated by the black powder shells in use at the time the gun was new. Modern smokeless powder has much higher pressures. The barrels can blow up. You are best to hang this gun on the wall and never use it again.

No.
What family does the piano belong to?
It is considered a percussion instrument since the strings are struck by hammers to produce tones. It is also considered a string instrument by some.
'What is a piano classified as?
It depends actually. There are 3 possibilities here. 1) percussion because the hammers in a piano hit the strings to make the music 2) strings because the hammers hit the strings so it's not the hammers making the music but the strings 3) keyboard because now not all people can agree on percussion or strings so they gave it its own category. Also they have keyboards which don't have strings or hammers Personally though, I like calling it a percussing or a strussion. :)
What is the history of an old double barrel shotgun shell type side hammers with the markings tbs?
manufacturing turned toward internal hammers about 1870 just about the same time the transition from twist to fluid steel barrels appeared. keep in mind that side hammers still appeared on center fire shotguns using brass cased shotgun shells that first appeared about 1860. if it is a percussion cap shotgun its probably pre 1860.
