Louis, while you are at Hausmann's in June you should get opinions about restoration from other Parker folks. There is also the school of thought "why would you erase all of the nicks, scratches and general wear that your grandfather put on that gun through his years of hunting and shooting?"
Yes, have the barrel dent repaired but think hard about restoration...
