I believe it to be a 16 gauge, serial number 14505.
Welcome Geoff!
Wow, if that is a 16 gauge lifter action Parker you definitely have a good one! If possible please measure the diameter of the chambers. If a 12 gauge doesn't slip into the chambers it is probably a 16 gauge. That is unless it is one of the very rare 14 gauge Parkers!
Serial number 14505 is not in the Parker Gun Identification and Serialization book or what we refer to as "The Book". Records for you Parker are available from the PGCA.
I am certain that others, especially those from the cult of the 16 gauge will join in shortly drooling over your nice condition Parker!
