Arthur: All of the foregoing is great advice. I, personally, would suggest Jim Kelly, owner of The Darlington Gun Works. Jim is a great guy and not that far from you. He will give your gun a full evaluation and a close estimate of repairs. Most probably he can fix the stock, evaluate the wall thickness and bring the gun back to shooting condition. You will want to shoot this gun only will black powder loads or low pressure shells from a company like RST.

Best Regards, George

Welcome and congratulations. I would suggest you contact Brian Dudley , a PGCA member, on the stock repair. I live in Georgetown and collect and shoot Parkers. Jim Kelley in Darlington is a great Parker gunsmith, but has some health problems and the weight has become very long, sometimes years. If I can help you please feel free to contact me. The previous advise is good and the other smiths mentioned are excellent.

I have recently seen two separate guns, with broken stocks, repaired by Chris Dawe (PGCA member) and they were done beautifully.
