Another one who lucked out... Someone who doesn't know much about guns, let alone Parkers gets passed down an AAH Pigion Gun. I think that your $5k estimate is low. Maybe not for the condition it is in, but surely after any quality restoration. Just to give you an idea, The book value for this in Good to Very good condition (which it would be if a top notch restoration is done) is $18k-$25k. Fair Condition is $10k. And Poor is $1,000. I would call this one between poor and Fair.
It would be very interesting for you to learn where your great grandfater got the gun from considering that this would have been a VERY expensive gun when it was new.
