Mike: Good advice from Russ, You may want to order a letter on your family's Parker. It is well worth the $40 if you are a member of PGCA or $60 if you're not. Go to the main page & see about joining. By "off face" is ment that there is more that a slight gap between the breech ends of the barrels and the standuing breech. This can be easily corrected. Jeff gave you good advice as to cleaning & stabilizing the rust. In any event, your Parker is worth a good deal more than $100 IMHO.
Best Regards, George
