John - might I add - please do not take more apart with the Craftsman screwdrivers
i see you took the sling off, which is fine, but gun screws have parallel slots and take a fitted screw driver to prevent damage. a sling and paint/lacquer, was G-Grandpa a duck hunter?

Again thanks Rick, i'll pass that on about the screwdriver. Duck hunter???, not sure. I have seen an old photo with my grandfather, but he passed away when my dad was young so I'm not sure that we could find that out.

if it was my grandfathers gun I would consider restoration ,for 3 or 4 grand it will look like it just left the parker factory, you cant buy a new gun with parker style and quality for that kind of money, but you can have it checked out and enjoy the way it is its only original once.

Bill, Here are some more images. Left side, Right side, Hammers and Left & Right bores. Dad reports that there is very little pitting noted in the bores. We can only measure the bore diameters at the muzzle (0.710") and at the breech (0.814"). I look forward to your further evaluation of this gun.
Are there any suggestions on cleaning or refurbishing out there?? I'd love to see it cleaned up without damaging it. I really don't want to break the bank either in costs if the value is prohibitive afterwards. As always gentlemen, Thank you for your help.

John
to clean the metal - frontier pads with some oil will often do wonders on dirt and light rust, but not remove any finish - just keep them off the wood http://www.exploreproducts.com/big45...un-cleaner.htm
