Default 8 Guage 1888 Hammer Gun

Here are some pictures of my Great-grandfathers Parker 8 guage. Obviously the stock is broken, over the head of a coyote in a trap 75 years ago. I would like to get it repaired, any recomendations to a quality professional would be appreciated. The wood box in the pictures has been with the gun as long as anyone can remember, the gun fits perfectly, so it was either built for the gun or came with it from Parker Brothers, Maybe? My grandfather was born in 1902 and he said it was with the gun when he was a young boy, but didn't know if it was original equipment, he passed in 1994. I also have all the tools needed to reload shells and I have at least a hundred of the brass shells in various lengths also. Any guess on the value of the gun?
