Default Valuing an old 12 ga.

I have a Parker 12 ga. double-barrel for which I would like to establish a value.
I have attached some identifying photos and could provide more as required.
Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

It's hard to assign value, but with a broken, pinned stock and hand etched choke "marks" it's not a valuable gun.

Thanks Andrew. Would you please explain what you meant about a “ broken, pinned stock”?
Incidentally, (as if it weren’t obvious) I am very poor with computers and associated means of communication. I meant to include more photos in my original post.
Is the serial number 124870 relevant?
How do I know what model the gun is?
Thanks

I don't have my serialization book to see some specifics of the gun. But as far as pinned, right behind the receiver (above the triggers) in the last photo it looks like there are two bolts or screws holding the gun together. They don't belong there, so surely that wood is broken/rotted or whatever in there.

The serial number is 124870.
Barrels are 30”.
I’ll get some more photos tomorrow.
Thanks for your interest.
