What a buy for you! The gun is in good condition for the age. Very nice figure still showing in the barrels. Like many very old guns, it looks like this one may have had varnish or shelac put over the wood and metal parts as an attempt to preserver or protect it. That is where the yellow color on the metal is coming from and also the shiny look of the stock. This will usually come off with careful use of denatured alcohol. Apart from a good cleaning and a check over by someone versed with old guns / Parkers, it should not need much.
