I jotted the serial number down with one digit off.

Sorry for any confusion.

Haste makes waste.

And, the PGCA has factory records on that particular gun; so, you could order a research letter for it.

A photo of the water table and one of the barrel flats would probably convey more info. that may have some relationship to value.

The stock being pinned, suggesting some hard use, and other aesthetic details, does suggest less-than-average condition for a 12-gauge Parker of that era.

If the barrels check out with a qualified smith as to being safe to shoot, and mechanicals are sound, the gun may still be a great and reliable shooter.

My book has it as a 16 gauge with 26 in barrels and a PH as Brian stated
