Absolutely!! Keep the gun for the family. If you sell it you WILL always regret having done so!
I have two 'family' Parkers that my great grandfather bought over a 100 years ago here in Iowa. One is a 20 about identical to yours- even to the Pach white line 'tennis shoe' pad. Enjoy the gun. Get it out of the safe, into a case and into the truck and go hunting with it.
I doubt there are one in 10 (more like 1 in 100) PGCA members who have a Parker of any grade that came down thru the family. Most of them bought their own first Parker. You are one of the lucky ones who inherited theirs. You don't own a family gun- you hold it in trust for the next trustee. Keep the entail going.
