Shawn;

the E over LG in an oval (first two pictures) is a Belgium proof mark. it was a very common practice for some companies there to produce very cheap guns and stamp a well known makers name on them. Parker knock offs show up as do many good British makers very often.

If it has sentimental value, hang it on the wall, but it is not a restoration project. as stated - don't spend a penny
