Old Double Barrel Shotgun ID Help

I think it's a parker double barrel with a goulcher lock mechanism. It is missing the left hammer but everything else seems to work. If this can be identified, I would appreciate any value this might bring and how I can determine the gauge. I would also like advice about how to clean this properly. Thanks.
