Brad is good, there's no question about that.
Recommend you do a lot of homework first. There are a number of restoration experts who can bring that gun to it's former glory and each one uses slightly different methods and gets slightly different results. Take a close look at examples of all of their work and compare them with known original high-grade Parker Bros. hammerguns.... then decide.
Not trying to sway you but simply pointing out that there are options and for the money you're likely to spend on such a worthy project you need to go into it with both eyes open.
If you can't afford the prices you will be quoted... either leave it alone or sell it to someone who will do it justice.

That is a stunning $250 or A grade Parker. That is some of the best engraving on a gun of that grade which I believe is the highest grade Parker made at the time. I will second the recommendation Of Brad Bachelder. His metal restoration is as close to original as I have ever seen. You have a treasure!
