Hi Chuck,
Welcome aboard to 10 Gauge Parkers! I looked at that early back action Parker but did not desire to spend the money to restore it. If you can clean up the metal without damaging it and restore the wood you will have a gun to be proud of.
Considering the age I would definately have the barrel thickness checked and the barrels closely examined for pitting or other faults. If everything checks out okay I would limit the pressure of any smokeless loads.
Shoot well and safe,
Mark
