Thomas,
welcome to the group, an interesting set of Parkers, obviously your Dad had a flare and knew what he liked. All of the guns have been altered, but that doesn't make them junk. I would suggest an in-hand inspection by a competent gun smith is in order, but Simmons was a well regarded gunsmith concern and I would expect the work to be sound. I am a bit east in Pa., in Hellertown.

Knowing my old man he found two old clunkers and sent them to Mr. Simmons to be saved. Judging by the fit and finish of the guns Mr. Simmons was a pretty awesome gun smith. The writing on the vented rib is literally tiny! Its actually impressive how small it is!
