Definitely an upgraded original Parker. The Repros never had the pre-1917 safety.
I just checked and there are surviving Parker Factory records on 180688 to support a PGCA Research Letter.
I would suggest you order a research letter on yor inherited Parker for $100 or better - join the PGCA for $40 and you can then get the PGCA Member's price of $40 for the letter... for a total savings of $20.
