I think before anyone can actually assign a value to your Parker you’ll need to ascertain that Parker Bros. actually did fit those Twist barrels to it. The fact that the serial number on the barrel lug matches the number on the water table isn’t proof of anything.
Send for a PGCA research letter to discover if there are any records that might address that very unusual set of barrels on your D.
