1926 production hammer V Grade
 

I don't have photographs, but believed to be unfired, if not 100%, condition, 99% and then some. 12 ga Damascus values.

Fair valuation, not retail, but if for sale from a friend, fair for both of us?

Huh??????

Hammer gun? V grade?? Damascus???

Doesnt add up.

What should it be? Hammer guns and Damascus were common although not typically as late as 1926. I had seen the gun a few years ago and thought it was a V Grade, but that part could be wrong.

Photos?

I don't have any. I have much more experience with antique revolvers, but I am fairly certain this is not a refinish, vivid case colouring, hammers, Damascus barrels. As for Grade, there was limited engraving, which is why I pegged it as a V Grade. Maybe it was a P Grade?

A 1926 vintage hammer gun would certainly be late. It does sound interesting. However, without being able to put eyes on it, I nor anyone else can tell you anything more.

Well, ballpark, what would you value a Parker like this as such? From a retired gunsmith's personal collection. Appears unfired and new--we both agreed on this and not refinished. He's owned it for many decades and it's been salted away, and now could be for sale.

what is the serial number? is that how you dated it?

I cannot recall the serial number but previously I had it and it dated the gun to 1926.

The serial number would very likely help us to determine the grade, original barrel length, original configuration including action type. To discuss the gun further without the serial number would only be based on speculation and guesstimates.
