Type in the serial number and someone will tell you about it if its in the book. I don't have that book yet.

If you go to the PGCA main web page ( http://parkerguns.org ) and look at the left side, all the items there are links to other pages that have information that can help you. You can enter the serial number to see if information exists, you can find information on how to determine grades, see pictures of guns of various grades, read Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), order a research letter and much more.

Serial # 41027 made in 1884

The "Book" says it is a 10 gauge exposed hammer top lever opening gun with 30" Twist Steel barrels. It is probably a zero (0) grade gun with little embellishment. It should have a pistol grip stock with a hard rubber cap attached with a slotted screw. If it is in absolutely new condition, it would be worth about $4000 to $5000. If it were an abused and rusty gun with missing parts, it may be worth about $50. Post some pictures and we can get a little closer to its real value.

Kenneth,

Look this over and give it another try.

Here are two links to video's that:

The first one shows how to size the picture, which seems to be a common problem uploading to the site and the second shows how to upload. The first one may help you?

They take time to load depending on your connection speed, so give it a moment to start up.
