Default Seeking info about two Parkers

Hello, I am new to this forum and am not a gun collector, so I apologize in advance for my ignorance about shot guns and specifically about Parker guns. Some quick background on my guns; I have two Parkers, a 12 ga. and a 16 ga. given to me by my grandfather in 1964 when I was 12 years old. I shot quail, dove and duck with them until my early thirties which was in the mid 1980's. I then put them on my father's wall with his guns and they have not been fired in the last 30 to 35 years. I have had them at my house for the past seven years, since my father's death. I am now 65 and am thinking of giving these guns to my son, continuing the family ownership that started with his great grandfather. But I realize I know nothing about Parker guns except there are some very fine models out there.However, from some limited research, I suspect these are not in that category. So, I would like to develop some information and possible a value range for these guns for when I pass them on down the line.

So, here is what I currently have. the 12 ga. has a serial number of 200663, which I believe was made in 1922, is Trojan Steel, has a frame size 2, barrel weight 4, barrel length 30 in. and a grade stamp of OV.

The 16 ga. has a serial number 233799, which I think was made in 1930, is Trojan Steel, frame size 1, barrel weight 3 with superscript 7, barrel length 28 in. and a grade stamp of OV.

Sorry about this long post, just wanted to give as much background as possible. I don't want to sell or buy more, I would appreciate information about these guns and a possible value estimate. Thanks for taking time to read this.
