Default Need Help With an 1888 12 Gauge

Hello all, just joined and could use a bit of help. My father has an old Parker double barrel that we're trying to get more info on. I used the guide provided by the forum and was able to figure out a couple things.
Serial Number is 53953
Frame Size 1
Grade 2
Steel type Damascus
Barrel Weight 31

From what I can figure it's a Parker GH, but if I'm wrong on this please correct me. There is a DD stamp above the barrel weight that I can't find any info on. Also, at some point the barrel was cut down to 25" and has a small dent; along with pitting along the inside of the tubes.
The checkering has significant wear, in some places it's near worn off. And it appears that one of the hammer has been replaced along the way.
On the plus side, it does feature an ejector.
These pics won't be the best, but I'm no photographer. Any info on value and such would be greatly appreciated!
Here are links and thumbnails, sorry best I can do.

Here is that DD I was speaking of.



This is what I believe is the original hammer



And here is what I think is the replacement.



Serial and grade number



Small dents in barrel



Shot of the barrel type and condition; rough to say the least.



Shield




Stock to show the wear on the checkering.



And one last of the whole piece.


Again, any help is greatly appreciated; glad I found y'all!
