Sean,
It's been fun to look at your Parker and to get a bit involved in informing you about it as well. If you plan to keep it I would urge you to send for a PGCA Research Letter on your gun's serial number. You may learn a lot more about it, who originally ordered it and if there is any history of it going back to Parker Bros. or during the mid to late 1930's to Remington for repairs or refinishing. The letter is $60 for non-members and $40 for members and an annual membership in the PGCA is only $40.
If you return to this forum often enough you will find that there are quite a few very knowledgable Parker experts here who are quite willing to share their knowledge and experiences with interested newcomers. We welcome you and hope you will stay in touch.
If you plan on selling your Parker, be forwarned - it is a valuable Parker. Others may differ in opinion but I will say it is probably worth between $5,000 - $7,000
