Something for the fellows to think about.

Mike Franzen 07-20-2015 08:05 PM

My guess is $150 and $200 grade

John Truitt 07-20-2015 08:14 PM

200 and 250

Erick Dorr 07-20-2015 10:41 PM

Both $200 grade.

Gary Carmichael Sr 07-21-2015 12:50 PM

Ser# 2344 I would say is a 200.00 grade and 3215 is a 250.00 grade, just my guess, Gary

"Above my pay grade" grade.

So Bruce, what are the grades??

Dean Romig 07-23-2015 08:49 AM

Boy, those dollar-grades are really tough to determine. They pre-date any standardization in engraving 'theme' and coverage, but stock work and checkering styles had been pretty much standardized,,, except in cases where some wonderful sculpting may have been ordered - as shown on 2344. There are only a minute few Parkers with that style of sculpting of the grip - I've only ever seen 2 or 3.

I'm going with Dr. John and Gary - 2344 is a $200 and 3215 a $250.

OK Bruce - "The envelope please." Which are they?

I was going to try to respond intelligently, so I went to the Dollar Grade Chapter in "The Parker Story" to refresh. Guess what? Both guns are pictured and discussed in TPS. The aforementioned guess of $200 and $250 is correct.

Thanks Dave... Who would have thought those particular gun were discussed in The Parker Story!

Excellent detective work!
