Okay I have to ask. Really what is a wall hanger Parker P grade worth? This gun has finish issue, mechanical issues and very likely bore issues. Yes, with money you may be able to overcome them and maybe not. The good of this gun is it appears to be all there and other than the poor refinish of the metal it doesn't appear messed with. If it was a dip in the old hot blue tanks I would be really concerned about the barrels again.
I kind of put this in if the barrels are dead then it isn't worth throwing money at it other than sentimental value. To me family pieces are priceless.
What needs to be done is the gun needs to be inspected by someone that really knows what to look for when grading the condition of the barrels. If the barrels are DOA then a few hundred as a wall hanger is the real value. If not then maybe a few hundred more.
