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.
