Congratulations on your Parker! You've already gotten sage advice from folks here, but I would indeed urge you to get a research letter on your gun if the records are available. Since it was in your family, and, I assume in California for a while, you might find some interesting history about it, especially for the Parker enthusiast. There are some storied guns in the Parker-California connection.
