Hello Dee: I'm going to disagree with Dean on this one. What you have (according to the "book") is a Parker hammerless T14 or CHE Grade 16 gauge with capped pistol grip stock and 28 inch Titanic Steel barrels made in 1904. Your gun needs total restoration in that it is in, as Dean pointed out, very poor condition and off the face. What you have is a fairly rare Parker with family provenance. I would suggest ordering a research letter from PGCA for $40 and see what information it would provide. Tell us where you are located and perhaps we can recommend a Parker restoration expert to bring your Great Grandfather's gun back to life. It won't be cheap but IMHO this gun deserves it.
Best Regards, George
