You own a rare and stunningly beautiful piece of Parker history with wonderful provenance. Like many rare collectibles, the only way to truly know it's value is to offer it for sale in a well publicized venue. If it were mine I would have it insured for at least $75k. The butt pad is a pretty good sized wart. I'm not suggesting that you would realize that in a sale, but the likelyhood of finding another one is small.
