Hi Evryone

I have just purchased a Parker cal. 20, serial number: 175845 at a lokal fleemarked. On the barrel is ingraved "Parker Bros. Makers Meriden Titanic Steel".

I looked up the serial number it said 1917. The gun i complte, but used. There is no ware in the mainbolt. There is no dents in barrel. There is no color left on the barrel, but it is in good shape, no corrosion.

I need help to find a realistic value to the gun.

I'm from Denmark, so i hope you understand my writing.

Look forward to hear from the forum.

Bestv regards Mikael_kjaer from Denmark

Welcome aboard, Mikael! It sounds like you have a nice Parker. The 20 gauge guns are very desirable, both from a collecting standpoint and as fine upland game guns. If you provide photos, many of the forum members can provide information based on years of collecting and studying Parkers. Cheers!

Mikael, Sorry to say that your gun 175845 is not in the "Serialization Book" But if you go to our home page and follow the links you can order a research letter on the gun. This may help with some of the history of the gun as there are surviving records on your gun.

Mikeal, Welkommen!

Be certain that you order a PGCA research letter for your newly acquired Parker as Dave recommended. It can answer some of your questions that inquired about and may say how it came to Denmark. It looks like a nice PARKER and you did well from that local flea-market.

Regards,

Frank

Thanks for all the replys


Her are some photos. The one with year and date, is made of silver i think. I cant read the letters, perhaps it's the first owner's initials.

I have tryed to find the history behind the gun i denmark, but whit no luck.

If anyone wish photo's from certain angles, let me know.

Best regard Mikael
