Dee,
If you will forgive my saying so it would seem you are still in a win win situation. You have a shotgun in your possession that belonged to your great grandfather. For most of us in the PGCA that means a lot. When you take it sometime to a Parker gathering you may be surprised to find it might be in better shape than you think. The bores may be better than you think on the inside. If nothing else someone who knows what they are doing and can give suggestions on making the outside of the gun look better even if just a wall hanger. It is still a family heirloom and that means a lot. It would mean even more to your children and their children.
Dennis
