New member, general questions

Hi all,

New to the forum - have loved reading all of the helpful info in these threads!

I was just entrusted with a Parker handed down from my grandfather, and was hoping to confirm what I’ve tried to determine by poking around. Pictures included below.

I’ve placed this as a Trojan 12 ga on a size 2 frame, manufactured in 1920. I’ve seen a few people ask about the OV stamp and haven’t seen a definitive answer. Any info appreciated, especially if I’ve misinterpreted.

I shoot regularly - clays and quail and an occasional pheasant tower hunt. Is having lower end Parker like this refurb’d to look more like the day it was made a big faux pas? I don’t care about resale value - guns are to be kept in my book.
