Welcome Charlie. You are at the right place to determine more information about your gun than you may have thought possible. There are very many very knowledgeable folks here. Many also believe a family gun is a treasure, no matter the grade or condition. Some of us have a soft spot in our heart (maybe head too) for keeping a multi-generational Parker going on within the family. I'm one of those guys. If that is not possible, you will surely find a close estimate of value and some honest people to deal with right here. More than worth the price of membership. You can also order a research letter for your gun. The serial number shows there are surviving factory records, which give a bit more information than the configuration of the gun when shipped from the factory. If you can post some pictures as suggested, the opinions will begin to flow.
Like you, I've been hunting from an early age - pretty much since I could walk afield with my Dad. I have his Parker V grade. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your family treasure.
All the best for the New Year to an old salt from a slightly younger upstart.
Cheers,
Jack
