Default Dare 16 gauge

Thanks everyone for your input. For an introduction, I’m a 75 yo recently retired Orthopedic surgeon. I’m an avid sportsman in hunting and fishing. I own a lot of hunting rifles and shotguns but I have never owned a high end Parker like this gun. I acquired it from a lady in her 90s as a favor to help her tidy up her estate. I’ve been researching this gun for over a year and bought the 2 volume set “The Parker Story “. I’m not holding myself out to be a Parker expert like all of you, just learning. What I can say with confidence is that this gun is exactly like what it was when it was purchased in 1970 and has not had any reworking by her or her deceased husband. I spent a lot of time researching Lyman Barr finding out that he worked in the Chicago commodity market and died in the late 1960s. Any advice that you can provide would be appreciated as you are the experts in Parkers , not me. I’d be happy to send more pictures if you want. Just give me very specific details. Thanks again
