I don't know if it would ever have much value, but I think it would be a fun project.
The question is, why was it dismantled and put away?

I would buy that great gun. Someone has refinished, or at least stripped, the stock, eliminating that chore.

I already tried. Not for sale. This is a friend that I've known for a while, and has been around Parker Guns a bit. (Thanks me)
I don't have his permission to talk about the acquisition, so can't go there, but my hopes are that he comes over and joins up.
This gun will make an interesting 1st step into Parkers.

I like knowing backstory, so I wish I could answer this question.
Sadly I have no information beyond a best guess.

Best guess: Strip and clean.
As noted the buttstock finish has been stripped and the pics showed the interior of the action.

The other guns I picked up were in various stages of poor repair/storage.
