Mr. Carpenter:
The gun you have possesses at least two levels of value. One as a 28-bore Parker (of unknown grade as yet) and Two, as an heirloom of the DuPont family. BOTH of these dimensions must be considered to result in an approximate dollar value.
Your best bet is to contact an independent arms appraiser.
Even then, "value" is nebulous. If you intend to sell the gun, it has one value. Auction it? That's another value. Keep it? in that case, YOU know best... perhaps after some general guidance here.
