Call back gives me this data- 16 gauge 28" Vulcan Steel Barrels DT, EXT original stock with pg and DHBP-- Not sure of frame size or if it has the 12.5% tool steel wear plate- will know Sat when I attend the auction and eXAMINE IT- ALSO DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS SIZE 1 FRAME OR A SIZE 0 FRAME- YET-Owner has never shot it- describes it as having good blueing and some case coloring left, stock and forearm uncut and free of repairs- std pull and drop for an early VH 16 I am guessing- $850?? maybe???

That serial number would not have originally had the 1905 or 1910 wear plate installed since it was made in 1903.
If the gun was returned for any service work after 1910, it could have been retrofitted.

I think you're dreaming if you think it will bring $850 at a well advertised farm auction. If a 16 gauge Parker came up at one down where I'm from, every bib overall wearing hillbilly from 100 miles around would be there to bid on it. Somebody would get bulled up, decide nobody was going to buy it but them, then run the thing to double or triple it's value. You could offer them one straight up for half that and they wouldn't buy it, but put it on a farm auction and guys seem to just go nuts. Maybe farm auctions that have guns are different where you live, I'm hoping they are and you're able to get it reasonable.
DLH P.S. When I say bib overall wearing hillbillies, I don't intend that as an insult. I am one, I just don't overpay for guns at farm auctions.......

From what I've seen, DLH doesn't overpay too often
