I'm in the Cleveland OH area. I do go to PA quite often, Smerset County area(flight 93 crash site). I also have 2 weddings that I will be driving to in Sept. One in Myrle Beach SC and one in Chicago. I can make a detour if needed. Thanks

Tom, The firing pins on hammerless Parkers are integral with the hammers themselves. If there are no firing pins protruding from the breech face it is possible that the hammers have been removed or the pin portion of the hammer has been removed rendering the gun unable to fire. That might explain the turned screws on the floor plate. You may want to send the gun to DelGrego as he most likley has the parts to repair it.

Tom, you say the safety does not work. Do you mean you can't move the safety at all to get the gun to fire, or do you mean that the gun will fire without moving the safety?

If you can pull the triggers I would make sure the gun is cocked, remove the forend and barrels. With those removed take a piece of soft wood and place it over the breach face holding it securely against the breach face. Pull both triggers and see if there are firing pin dents in the wood. If there are, then the hammer/firing pin assembly is working.

Drive another 2hrs east from Somerset to Harrisburg and I'd be happy to look at it.
