Thank you, Brian - as I wondered - it is beautiful and sat in a well curated safe since the 1920s but I could not find anything like it. I have these photos for now

None of the metal finishes are original. I can tell you that from the one photo of the gun.
It is an embellished and poorly refinished SC grade.

Thank you - so, even with that, is the value above or below $5k and if so by how much? I’m a newbie to Parker and even with its heritage I don’t want to invest without due diligence

It is worth well below that. You can usually get an honest original and unmolested gun for around $3-3500. And this one is not that.
The wood itself may be original, but someone messed with that too by adding the carving on the forend. The butt looks refinished too.

Here is a photo of a VERY NICE original SC. Only the pad is not original.
For an example pf how one should look. IMG_5931.jpg

IMG_2250.jpgNow that is quite something — does this photo shed any light on the gun?

There is a very nice one in the for-sale section right now. If you pony up the $40 for a membership, you'll be able to take a look at it.
