Luckily, she had two kidneys so we were able to sell the other one so I could buy my Parker back. The case fit perfectly. All's well that ends well.
And if you believe that one I own a bridge between Manhattan & Brooklyn that I'll let you have cheep!

My first Parker was acquired by me at the tender age of eight or nine. It is a 10 gauge Grade 3 hammergun with poorley replace wood but in excelland condition otherwise. I traded it to the owner of the service station where my Dad did business. The trade was even for a 16 gauge single barrel Stevens. I still have that first Parker.
He even through in a box of 10 gauge Super X shells.
