Thanks Mark, it's just a 12 gauge so it's pretty common. I think this gun was used well and put away wet. Might make a good wall hanger

Cameron welcome. My first Parker was my grandfather's gun and it was 26 years old before he was born in 1896. It isn't a shooter and it won't ever be sold but passed on in the family.
Yours may be a shooter hard to say without being checked out by someone qualified.
There are surviving records for your gun so you could order a letter and find out if it is a grade 0 or grade 1. The cost of a letter is $100 for nonmembers or $40 for members. Annual membership is $40 so it is cheaper to join and order a letter for a total of $80 and a savings of $20.
Hammers have partial serial numbers on back and originality of hammers that have different shape but same engraving can be ascertained by checking sn.
Again welcome,
Erick
