From what I can see, there doesn't appear to be anything seriously wrong with the gun. It appears on face. but you can confirm that by holding it up to the light and see if you can see light through the joint of breech face and breech end of the barrels. If it has no wiggle when you shake it, closed, it almost surely could see the field again.
Unlike lots of lesser guns, Parkers are a strong gun. That notwithstanding, I'd suggest some light loads like RST 2 1/2" Lights. That would is older than Zip's ass, so you don't want to be pounding it.
I guess I'd put a replacement butt plate on it, and put that one away.
