I would be proud as well to have my Grandpa's Parker. Enjoy
Yes Harry, I am proud to own my "Grandfather's Parker", but my dilemma is, I have 13 grandchildren of my own. So, who gets it?
Tradition says, oldest son, to oldest son.

Kurt, I don't believe anyone who has offered thoughts or advice is trying to "pull your chain" or mislead you. If you want a range of value, you will at least have to post quality pictures and from your description it won't be high dollars. Most of us consider the value of a family heirloom as "priceless". If the Damascus tubes are in good shape and have adequate barrel thickness and is on face there is probably no need to have them sleeved, many members of this board shoot thousands of rounds through Damascus barrels, most load or buy "low pressure" shells for the benefit of the wood and the fact they have been made a while (many years). You won't get many better answers unless you post good pictures and by the way, chances are good that having the gun modified by sleeving is not a good investment, unless the barrels are no good and you want to fix it. You are the owner, you can do with it as you wish.
