Default Help Identifying Parker Bros Shotgun

I'm managing the estate of my father and we found in his collection an old double-barrel shotgun, how can we get it certified, or understand the value?

Inside stock number: E 1026 and other side and a 1 and a star, see pictures.

Thank you!

Although it has a Parker Brothers grip cap, that is not a Parker Bros shotgun

What does the engraving on the rib say, can't make it out.

The gun is actually a Union Fire Arms Company of Toledo, Ohio, Model 22.

Union was formed out of Colton Manufacturing Co. to make firearms for Sears, Roebuck & Co.

Looks to me like the rib marking is "WILSON'S WELDED STEEL."

Its value is minimal. A few hundred dollars at the most… at the very most.
