Default Parker A grade

Looking at a gun SN#60000 all matching serial numbers 10gauge. It is in really nice condition. Any idea what I should pay for it "range". Pics to follow. The gun was found in an attic.

Should have 30" barrels and a capped pistol grip stock no extras and the barrel flats should have a D for damascus with possibly a small number such as a4 or 6 near it That is the grade of damascus{ #of wire strands}

Actually, beginning with the Grade 5 or B Grade the barrel flats are often - but not always - stamped with a DD (likely indicative of "finest Damascus") rather than a single D and the grade numeral stamp of 6, in this case, is normally stamped closer to the breech end of the flats.

Two years ago I bought a nice A Grade 12 gauge for $9K from a very reputable dealer. It was also in the 60k serial number range and was a lovely example of A Grade wood, checkering and fabulous engraving. After two days I sent it back because I wasn't entirely pleased with it. The dealer took it back 'no questions asked' for a full refund.

My point is that if it is as nice as you make it sound it is a valuable gun. It will be worth exactly what you and the current owner decide is a fair price.
