1902 Parker. Need help with value
1 Attachment(s)
I recently got this Parker and cleaned it up, and I’m looking for help in determining its value. It’s a Damascus steel hammerless grade “G” It’s missing the buttplate and the stock has some cracking from someone using the wrong ammunition. According to the serial number, the gun should have been manufactured in 1902. I believe it’s a 20 ga. Here are some pictures to help:

According to the serial number it's a 16 ga with 26" barrels
|
If you already own it, isnt the "value" a moot point?
|
I will likely sell it
|
Its condition is overall poor. The value will be on the low side. And you will be hard oressed to get a number here.

Most of us would classify it as a "project gun" requiring some serious work and money. Still, it is an O frame 16, and would likely make a nice little upland shooter with its 26" barrels. How are the bores after you cleaned it up? Are they very pitted? If they are 26" as the book lists,at least they arent cut. It is hard, but not impossible to find a replacement stock, and would require some serious fitting, There are those that could no doubt repair it and hide the repairs.
Hard to value without a hands on look at the gun, to see what all is going on. I bought a similar condition 16 ga a couple years ago for around $500 and put a few hundred into it to turn it into a shooter. |
The stock cracks are from a person falling on the gun then taking the stock off carelessly.
It needs a new stock . |
