Like Bruce said, that was a high dollar gun in 1904 and to inherit that quality Parker is really special. A D grade is something to be proud of for sure and for it to be a family piece makes it priceless. Learn and take your time with it, you can do a lot to one but you can't put back the wear and tear put on by your family members and that you may not want to loose. I have pieces that I let my Father have years ago and now I have inherited them with a lot of wear that he put on them and I would not change a thing to take away the use he put on them. Enjoy, you have inherited something that had to be a prized possession for many years and a real source of pride.
