You have an "0" grade top lever Parker hammergun. It left the factory with 28" barrels and a capped pistol grip stock. After an inspection by a QUALIFIED gunsmith familiar with vintage doubles, can be shot with low pressure 2 1/2" shells such as RSTs or similar. Good luck and now you have Parker fever. Incurable and costly but worth it.

@$750.00 or so. Condition is everything. Looks like a good solid shooter. As with any vintage shotgun, the barrels are everything. All else can be fixed.
