Default Should I buy this? 12 gauge Parker.

I would like a ballpark value. I’ve been told anywhere from $300-$1500.
Serial-52440
32 inch barrels. Couple dings no heavy pitting.
Any info on the gun and estimate on value would be greatly appreciated.

Andrew

Looks like a well used but not abused Quality B (Grade 5) hammer gun of about 1888 vintage. Should be worth all of that. the hammer screws appear to be replacements.

Very nice D Grade. If you can get this for $300 - $1500 This is a no-brainer.
I would like to see more pictures, and specs. BBL length, stock dimensions, chokes, etc.

That's a nice gun. A decent B grade Parker is worth way more than $1500.00. IMHO

At $1500.00 you could also justify a restoration.
