Default Missing lower. What to do with it?

Hi,
We have a partial Parker gun. There is the butt/stock and the barrel. It is missing the lower. This was my dad's, and he is now gone, so I don't know the story. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do with it to try to salvage this gun?

There would probably be buyer interest in the both the barrels and the stock. Condition, gauge and grade would determine value.

Are you sure it's not an extra set of barrels for another gun? Check the serial number on the barrels and see if it matches up to another gun. Barrels by themselves have some value, but it's best to keep a multi barrel set together.

OK, I'll check. I can't imagine my dad ever buying something without all the SNs matching, so that would make a lot of sense! Thanks for that insight!

The first thing to do is to post pictures of what you have and also post the serial number and markings that are on the gun. We will tell you everything we can about the gun.
