Hi Logan,
I recommend reaching out to PGCA members who would not charge you anything more than a cup of coffee for their opinions. Those opinions would be as reliable as those from most gunsmiths that you will find when it concerns a Parker Brothers gun of this vintage, at least in evaluating it as a Parker. For safety such as minimum barrel wall thickness there are many of us who have the tools to measure that. There are of course doublegun smiths such as Brad Bachelder in Grand Rapids Michigan who knows a thing or two about Parkers. Maybe our PCGA members could recommend someone qualified who lives closer to you?
Oh, if you have an interest in Parkers I suggest spending $40 on a PGCA membership. It may be the best money ever spent concerning collecting Parkers!

PS: Brian Dudley is a gunsmith, PGCA member, and certified Parker Brothers affectionado who is also qualified for this task. He resides in New York.
