I picked up the Parker today, haven't had too much time to study it yet. But, it is a rather small framed gun and I can't fit 12 ga shell into the chamber so my guess is it is a 14 ga or 16ga.
The stock has some cracks but they look quite fixable based on what I've seen other people fix on this site. The LOP is 14", not too bad for an oldie. It has the steel buttplate and as noted one hammer is incorrect and broken, too. Barrels are 29-1/2" long and one has a dent. I haven't looked down the bores yet as for some reason they have rolled up paper in them.
This gun would be a great project for a gunsmith or someone who does stock work.
