Mr. Mapoles,
May I ask where you live?
Your Parker sounds like an ideal candidate to be featured in an issue of Parker Pages, the journal of the Parker Gun Collectors Association. It is a 48-page color glossy magazine published quarterly. We have 1400 members, both annual as well as lifetime members. Everybody likes to see fine examples of unusual Parkers featured in our journal. Perhaps a friend, neighbor, or family member could photograph your Parker and you could write up a little history on how you found the gun and anything you might know about how your gun has spent the last 150 or so years. If you don't know any details that's fine.
A research letter could be ordered for your Parker's serial number - there could be some important provenance in such a letter, but often there is very little.
I should mention that I am the editor of Parker Pages and you are welcome to email me at

Best Regards,
Dean Romig
