Phil,First thing is that this tells me I should spend more time at estate sales!Congratulations on a great find! From the pictures the Parker looks to be in very decent condition.I would not do anything to it but a minor cleaning after having the bores and overall mechanical condition checked by a competent doublegun gunsmith. If you tell us were you are located someone may be able to recommend a smith to you.
This gun is also very interesting as it is listed in the "Serialization Book" as a Grade 4 12 gauge gun with 26" Bernard steel barrels,capped pistol grip stock and added barrels and ejectors.
There are few Parker guns documented as having "Added barrels" Be still my heart.....
I will add that research letter from the PGCA will add to the value of the gun and may answer questions of previous ownership
