Wendy, I was at that auction last week. Nice gun, but the Belgian made replacement barrels were the reason I didn't keep bidding on it. The cocking hook was not releasing the barrels, though in the quick look I took the slide didn't seem to be binding. If I had it in hand I would use a curved dental pick to reach in and push the hook back. I live near High Level, Alberta, so I'm a fair distance away.
In my opinion the best gunsmith for doubles in Alberta is Dave Henry in Bentley. The company name is D.Henry Gunmakers. If you don't know Bentley it is between, and a little west, of Red Deer and Edmonton. He is British trained, but he has worked on a few of my Parkers and I was very happy with the result. Welcome to the world of Parkers.
